Notes:
In the tradition of the color grid explored by Mondrian, Ellsworth Kelly, Sol Lewitt, et al. UNTITLED GRID PIECE / COLOR STUDY (5.16.08 - 9.14.09) was created to examine color combinations in both random and systematic manners. In each individual panel there is a dictating color which creates a pattern within that panel. This dictating color does not repeat as a dictating color in subsequent panels and each pattern is unique. All 18 panels however share the same color palette.
Colors applied in a random, process-oriented, mediative manner are disturbed or offset by the cognitive exercise of utilizing a dictating color to produce a systematic approach and non-repeating patterns.
On 18 panels:
According to the Kabalistic “Sefer Yetzirah”, the letters of the Hebrew Alphabet are the building blocks of the universe. Later Kabbalistic works explain that there is a connection between objects and ideas that have the same Gematria (numerical equivalent), or other letter connections. Thus in some way, anything that equals 18 has a connection to Chai/Life. 18 panels for UNTITLED GRID PIECE / COLOR STUDY (5.16.08 - 9.14.09) were chosen for this significance.
