Edge Control

Edge Control is a way to navigate ideas about the diagram, the edge, surface tension and limits, syntax, and glitch, through modalities of painting. The works currently veer towards being hard-edge and monochrome. The titles are numbered chronologically (for archival purposes) but they also obliquely reference an event.

As the series builds up indefinitely, shaped stretchers reveal the evolution or apparent deterioration of a form. A play on words and phrases may also instigate an improvisation of a shape.
