Modular Considerations--Minimalist/ Maximalist

                             
                              
 Open Studios at my building offers a chance to curate--studio as gallery space. This time the exercise led to these modular compositions. And with paints, brushes, and source materials still stowed away, I've been playing with the formations ever since.
 



 
  The groupings satisfy a long- held desire to meld  painting with a sculptural presentation. In other words, paintings where the panels on which they are painted do not "disappear" in service to the imagery, but are present and accounted for.
