Why Not Six?: Playful Geometry, Impossible Numbers, and the Whispering Line of an Elephant’s Silhouette

Why not six?, 1996

Oil on canvas

66 x 76 cm

A wandering line takes the shape of an elephant with its trunk raised, while a die marked with seven dots quietly breaks a familiar rule. Recognizable signs of luck and chance enter a world where their usual meanings no longer remain entirely stable. Logic gives way to possibility, and the impossible is allowed to appear perfectly at home.

Subject Matter: Abstraction
Collections: II. Memory of Nature
