Three-way Field, 1988

Acrylic and xerographic transfer

22 x 22 in (55.88 x 55.88 cm)

This piece continues with the Xerox transfer of text; in this case the grid is actually diamonds of book pages words. I'm not quite sure you can. You can't really tell however there's a beautiful sort of a landscape that's been painted over the surface of the text and then there is another layer of text over the landscape and also has a sort of a rectangu square square perhaps an illusion to a frame within a frame within a frame and this is also a parent on the previous piece number four which also has a rectangle within a rectangle. This is a very interesting sort of a question where there's a dynamic of figure ground dynamic, which is either being subsumed by the text or the landscape is trying to, grow over the text it's very odd kind of again another dynamic there is some reference to the idea of push pull that was with both abstract expression and minimal painting in particular Joseph Albers, with which had the angled frame within a frame.
