It has become apparent to me that I’m back into abstraction with a vengeance.
My exercises with representational art have brought me full circle to where I was about ten years ago. That being the case, serious thought has to be given to the shape of the final art piece – and that shape should be the square. It’s clear to me that I am making images on paper or canvas – these are not windows or doors – rectangles if you will. Squares are for the most part neutral in format – neither speaking of landscape or portrait, but of space vertical as well as horizontal. I’m sure to break this occasionally, but it will be for reason as opposed simply optical reasons.
