Central business district
Do not expect much

A colorful striped awning in the morning sun is advantageously integrated into an urban geometrical abstraction. The spatial relationships between various compositional parts never cease irresistibly to draw attention and interest.

“Every true artist has been inspired more by the beauty of lines and color and the relationships between them than by the concrete subject of the picture.” – Piet Mondrian

Regions of Apprehension

Complex riches
Multifarious degrees
Internal distinction

“No one can be aware of the real meaning of unity without an equal grasp of the sense of distinction.” – Jacques Maritain

Interval Break

Reflective edge
Suddenly susceptible
Essence remains

Mesmerizing information organizes itself into layers on the urban corner. A nuance of meaning lasts for a prescribed waiting period as passive thoughts meddle with appearance.

Traverse interpretation
Scattering amplitudes
Continuation energies

“Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn’t matter. Explore the world. Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough.” – Richard Feynman

Accumulated time
Banded display
Ordered color

“Alas, a few years ago, I should have said “my universe”: but now my mind has been opened to higher views of things.” – Edwin A. Abbott

Aesthetic Pleasure

Ineluctable fact
Nominal reduction
Extracted from life

Agricultural structures here exhibit geometrical abstraction in a minimalistic vein. The overall vibe is reminiscent of a cross between Piet Mondrian and Agnes Martin.

“To succeed in constructing something which is not a copy of the ‘natural’ and yet possesses some substantive quality implies a most sublime talent.” – José Ortega y Gasset

Markings

Inscription information
