Abutment. Painting in a corner like the crease in the center of a book (or magazine).

Dark, empty holes. Motherwell rhythm... Bontecou void. And altarpiece...
Shape, space, surface. What lies below, just beneath? Beauty or...? Language. Word play. Image/Text. Or, another conjunction which opts for an alter altar rather than another other. An other, what a but offers (with one T).
A butt (with two Ts) offers body intersections, leg extensions, nexus. A butt conjoins the body. A little bit of butt would also be like a little bit of funk (a whiff of beauty’s other.) Or perhaps a nickel bag of funk (blooming buds) just because it rhymes.
Rough around the edges yet intact. Yet, yet another conjunction.
The way things hang, curtains (or paintings in a room). A sly and considerate move to clarify the space while contextualizing other works in the show and the assertion of spatial consideration, positive and negative.
The way things hang together, groupings of artworks. Cf. Morgan Fisher, no relation, but... He too used painting to consider architecture and vice versa. He too questioned the surface integrity of things (he the floor, she the wall); the paper thin surface. Interesting how the "curtains" are thinner than the aluminum panels that are mounted on the dyed linens. And yet diaphanous thoughts...Paintings that approach edges and transitions, emergence, becoming other things (sculptural/architectural elements, immersive installations, ephemera)...
Torn about the edges. As in uncertain, undecided… (a promise of things to come).
Searching for an image through fragments and images. Run-ons...
Periods and ellipses... (lips that is).
And yet an other yes, but(t).
Between two things...
