Though the artist refers to them as “brick paintings”, these works are only a suggestion of a solid structure. That each brick is painted individually and the surface is constructed over a duration evince an engagement with labor and time. The paintings appear to be either exterior or interior, or are even possibly not “walls”. That they lean suggests a relation to action, as though it had been extracted from somewhere or about to move out of place. These being the latest of a series of brick paintings, with its varying measurements, hint that they might belong to a much larger complete structure, or that these pieces are parts of an imperceptible whole.
