Week 15 Progress

I've been thinking about Kandinsky and the fact that he was Russian.  I always think of any Russian as someone who surely has endured suppression by his government.  I've read some short articles and there is no mention of him enduring government scrutiny.  In fact, he freely traveled in and out of Russia in his pursuit of artistic expression.  He certainly produced works of abstraction with bold color and line and is credited as having produced one of the first works of abstraction.  This very use of line and color was what caught my eye.  His art has stood the test of time and is just as fresh today as when it was originally produced.  He is my outside influence for this last posting and my critical reflection is on his abstraction.  It is this use of bold color and simple form that ties into my work theory.


As for material developments, I purchased some edge tape and have been trying to true-up some of the borders.   It has produced the finish I was hoping for.   Images follow.
