May Notes Part 2

Earlier this month I had the opportunity to view an exhibition at Craig F. Starr Gallery, Surface/Infinity. Included in the exhibition were works by Viji Celmins, Brice Marden and Agnes Martin. Both Marden and Martin's work use the grid in interesting ways. Celmins work spreads across each of her surfaces.  Deanna Petherbridge writes in the exhibition catalog, "Detached austerity but not alienation is the motivating force in all the work on show, activated by a rigorous application of self-determined aesthetic rules and frameworks of practice, tempered by subtle indications of the authorial hand."

When I returned to the studio I started working on these. I was thinking about light as surface and the grid as a device used by artist's to achieve perspective among other things.
