Edinburgh Series: 20 panel paintings 02/2006 (Cv Folio Series Book 34) (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

The thirty sets of The Landscape Series were developed in two phases: sixteen sets were made from February 2002 to June '03 and a further fourteen parts were made in February 2006, totalling some 1,500 paintings. The standard size of a 1' square panel was based on the notion of one painting being all painting, or one landscape being all landscapes. Using gesso and emulsion mounds and hollows were formed by sweeping and dividing poured paint with cardboard strips cut from cartons. The panels were laid out on a framed base board which also served as a container for pools of colour washed over the textured surface. Two inch square wooden cubes were used to stack the paintings in small towers to dry out. Various factors steered the series: there was reference to an initial colour plan, thoughts about load-bearing pressures on a place, tracks and crossing points, air flow, water, spaces and intervals, the nature of settlement in the land. Offset corner marks in the panels from the cubes stand for a house, rounds for a moon. Titles were assigned later to photos of the line of production. The identity of a place was signified not by literal description but as an equivalent found by coincidence in the passage of an abstract process.
