Trampled - Caroline Bowder-Ridger

Trampled is a bold meditation on resilience and transformation. Its layered textures — a weathered palette of cool greys, dusty blues, and muted yellows — feel worn yet unbroken, as if they’ve endured pressure and time. The scraped, almost eroded surfaces carry a sense of history, suggesting moments that have been walked over, pressed down, yet somehow reassembled into a new form.

The interplay of geometric fragments and organic scuffs creates a push-and-pull between control and chaos. Subtle flashes of color emerge like small defiances against the muted ground, hinting at persistence beneath the weight of experience. In a collector’s space, Trampled doesn’t just sit quietly on the wall — it holds the room, embodying the beauty that can rise from what has been tested, marked, and reshaped.
