New Modular









































Thirty newly painted red and creamy panels. They had a hard time coming into the world but they're here at last. Fifteen red and fifteen cream.

Their energy comes not only from their color but also lies beneath their surfaces, which carry the very subtle memory of trial and error.

This is an optical illusion, too, but it doesn't work unless the image is flat. The illusions need the support of the canvas, even though the paintings don't
