untitled, 1978
gouache on paper, 50x64.5cmMaterial qualities have almost entirely been removed from the composition. The overlapping of rectangles creates an unusual geometry and realistic notions of perspective have been eliminated; there is no vanishing point and the only notion of perspective is expressed by the tops of the vessels which have been given rounded rims.
It is the interplay of lines that draw attention and the chain of lines links the objects together. Conceptually speaking, one could say that these strokes represent the traces of the movement of objects that are habitually passed around a table. Demonstrating the dynamic potential of objects; suggesting that objects are never actually still.
