I’m suggesting that the one above and the next one down could be better composed to activate the page. They both feel a little cramped to me. Note the difference in the two revised versions I’ve included. I think it also isolates the objects more in space and makes it a bit more…forlorn?<\/p>\n

There’s also something to be said for breaking out of the standard 9×12, 12×16, 16×20 world and\u00a0 working in a proportion that’s as decisive and unique as the images you’re making.<\/p>\n

I ran across the following portrait of Richard Diebenkorn, by his friend David Park, and thought of your work. Just a few strokes, shapes, and values, but mostly about activating the white of the page.<\/p>\n

Also an interesting hybrid of your two main approaches–insouciant brushwork with an activated ground, but still “tied off” to the sides of the rectangle.<\/p>\n
