I wrote ‘The Box Disappears’ in the 90s. Rereading it and painting Relic, felt like an introspective journey. Stadt, Land, Fluss are iterations of this feeling that invite the viewer to participate. Remember that Eastpak you had (or have)?
In Stadt, the viewer shares the perspective with a figure navigating the city. In Land, the gazing figure scans the horizon, while the viewer roams the composition. Fluss might identify with the viewer’s gaze as it veers into the unseen.
