Title: The Protecting Veil Media: Acrylic on canvas Dimensions: 48"x48" Finish Date: March, 2006 Commentary: This began as a minimalist expression of emergent form. I like form, particularly geometric form, that has implied and lost and found edges. For a while, it lived with marks of a single colour. Eventually, I warmed up some areas to increase the spatial depth. This piece extends the spatial studies of earlier work although this was not my conscious intent. It is perhaps more of a prototype of a direction I have not yet explored. Mary preferred it before I warmed it up. The tighter chromatic range of the earlier expression may indeed have been a better painting. |
