Enigmatic would best describe The Whole Wide World. Using a short, powerful message to create a visual frame, the words force the English reader to ponder their relationship to the object. The intriguing blue-violet color plane was filtered for months using cheesecloth to extract the binders and polymers associated with acrylic paint. This gives the color a magnetic cosmic density as a background, creating a density and unique relationship with the rest of the work.

To come full circle, the neutral gray and black word frame offers the viewer a steady ground where we note our time and the space within the frame.
