Artwork Description

This painting began its life as a simple composition that I thought would make an elegant work. Towards the end of the painting process, I ran into some difficulties with bleed, a common problem with hard-edge abstraction where paints seeps underneath taped edges. As a result, I had to make some changes to the thicknesses of lines and added a few extra. What seemed like insurmountable issues helped transform this painting into a livelier and more challenging work.
