About this artwork
“Work # 636: September 2006” is a seven part-work revisited in late October 2025. It consists of seven, unrelated but similar, found photographs of fifteen men having at each other. Overlaying all this fun and frolic is a series of triangulated lines that follow the angles of bended limbs; but these lines gradually increasing in width from near-pencil thin ones to ones so wide that the actions measured are almost completely obscured. There is nothing…
deeply profound about this work except, perhaps, the contrast between the rigor of mathematics against the irrationality of bodies colliding in space (or the slightly sadistic act on the artist’s part to frustrate the viewer’s natural voyeurism. The work should always be displayed in a straight horizontal line.
