DescriptionAbstract/geometric composition with several gelatin silver prints and paint, distressed white background and vertical succession of rectangles and square forms.eMuseum Notes
Using black-and-white photographs as a starting point, the artist creates a layered and embellished composition that is not easily read. The title of the piece suggests stability and an association with landscape, but the incised lines, tilted squares, and cross-bars are both dynamic and unsettling.
