This is an amazing triptych exploring the idea of contained chaos. There is an explosion of material and mark making bursting out of the center of this composition, but mostly not making it all the way to the edges, as if contained by invisible forces like a magnetic field holding in the constituent elements in a fusion reaction. And yet, the painting is a triptych; it is broken up with space between the three panels. Are we looking through a set of windows at some kind of celestial vista? Is there some kind of implied narrative like a comic strip? Is it just easier to transport that way?

The triptych form warps what is already a three dimensional hyperplane into a set of volumetric objects with a direct relationship to the more banal third dimension of every day life. The painting presents a space within the space.
