1. Object to Field

Any form or spatial matrix capable of bringing together different elements while maintaining the individual identity of each.

2. Geometric vs. Algebraic

Geometric systems of proportion are used to arrange fields into coherent wholes. The rules of axiality, symmetry or formal sequence are used to determine the organization of the objects.

3. Walking out of Cubism

Minimalism emptied artwork of figurative or decorative character and leaves an architectural condition. In a fluid zone of perception, the interpretation is displaced to the spatial area between the observer and the object.

4. Thick 2D

Field redefining the relationship between the figure and the ground. Has a  production of difference at a local scale while also has a relative indifference to the whole form.

5. Flock

While crowds aren’t always predictable, it does have 4 attributes. A crowd needs direction, it loves density, it will grow, and it has equality. Crowds often have strong statements whether it is intentional or not.
