From a grouping of paintings that insisted so adamantly about their flatness in reference to what looks like formerly stretched linens; shapes and sizes like windows yet opaque; and one-liner titles also referencing places; I could not help but notice their acute relationships to the external structures of the space, namely how the light and shadow forming on the translucent windows of the gallery and  how light fixtures overhead seemed to frame, reflect and integrate the works in a greater complexity of depth than anything that seemed to be actually proposed.  These things happen.  They're hard for me to ignore sometimes, and that can be a good thing for my interests as edges and transitions here seem to allow for such musings.
