These most recent paintings combine the color fade of earlier paintings with
a scale shift of the modular mark. Again, the color shifts happen slowly and
deliberately. (This working drawing reveals the subtle shifts necessary to
create this color illusion.) One handmade gesture at a time, the tripods
compress from left to right as I paint them on subtly increasing curves. I
begin to model three-dimensional space by navigating my body and gestures
across a large canvas. I have only a basic direction upon starting; many
decisions about the shape and direction of the curves happen during the act
of painting.
