Influenced by Abstract Expressionism and color-field painting, Waid builds layered, immersive worlds that reveal the landscape as a living system rich with complexity, resilience, and quiet vitality.","brand":"Scala","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48986607747327,"sku":"9781785516610","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781785516610","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
