Besides exploring the idea of an overall structural geometry that holds or informs the more atmospheric tonal and color issue, these paintings also focus on a simpler format, with fewer geometric elements to give the color and spatial concerns more room and dominance. The design qualities have an architectonic feeling that suggests almost a figure/ground relationship. This quality is, however frequently subverted, as it is with the more overall structures, by denying the follow through of that rationale and by reasserting the flatness and unity of the surface, as if it was a solid object. I am also using more contrast in value and color to either blur the distinctions, or on the other end, heighten their suggestion.
