These works perform the function of abstraction - visually and informationally. They reduce forms to geometric shapes, lines, and colors; incorporating a stripped down vocabulary of form and banal found products of consumer culture. Suspension lends to defamiliarization of these objects, transforming the quotidian into abstractions, while naming the objects brings out the arbitrariness of the process of signification. The works play against a dynamic of what feels right formally, and the rigor of a correct or formalized structure.
