This piece is inspired by and handful of Wassily Kandinsky’s and Barnett Newman’s paintings.
I imagine these paintings being exhibited together, with Kandinsky's "Blue Painting" shown by itself on the wall directly in front of a
gallery’s door. To the right, I see a long wall presenting Newman’s 1946 Untitled work on paper alongside Kandinsky’s
"Circles in a Circle." On the opposite wall, two more Newman paintings are presented side by side. The colors of the four
paintings form an interesting counterpoint between each other. I imagine I walk into another room in the gallery, where
I see Kandinsky’s "Several Circles," a mélange of richly pigmented and vibrant circles suspended in black and gray waves.
Finally, I turn around from "Several Circles" and am engulfed by Newman’s iconic "Cathedra." In this scenario, I see "Cathedra" casting its deep blues over and into "Several Circles" and pulling the light
from the other gallery room into this one, where Cathedra can be nourished.
