Collection: Section Paintings (Red) 1999

After creating large works in 1998 that couldn't fit through doors and were difficult to sell, I approached my next piece differently. In 1999, I intentionally divided a large work into sections, resulting in Red in Ten Sections. Though the piece was never shown and ultimately had to be discarded due to its size, the experience proved valuable. It introduced me to geometric principles, which have influenced my work ever since.
