The Red 540 series synthesizes diverse elements. The title of the series obliquely alludes to the pentagonal arena of engagement: the five internal angles of every pentagon add up to a total of 540 degrees. Pentagonal symmetry is found throughout the universe in places as diverse as the human body and an apple. The red of the washes and lines connects with iron, earth, blood, and warmth. These pieces straddle the concreteness of an object and the illusion of three-dimensional space. A grouping of three or more emphasizes the dynamic energy and interplay of the forms on the wall, while solitary pieces invite extended contemplation of the space within that dynamic form.
