ROTATE / REPEAT / SCALE / MOVE / SUBTRACT is a series of abstract works on plywood I've created over the last four years; in it, I try to deliver the purest aesthetic experience with the simplest, and most economical means possible. Physical aspects of my work are born entirely of low-fi, accessible materials that can be purchased at any Home Depot. I restrict myself: to thin-but-sturdy sheets of plywood (cut, in a narrow, cinematic sweep of 84" x 24"); to a palette of six colors (carefully chosen) of average acrylic Latex house paint; and to tightly rendered graphic compositions which obliterate a typical reading of 'background' and 'foreground.'
