Lot Essay

"I am trying to do two things that are seemingly contradictory, but are actually complimentary. One is immediate visual impact. The second is that the image unfolds slowly over time, and repays prolonged looking. To that end, there is a great deal of consideration put into the structural underpinnings. How the compositions are made to work as structures that hold these things, or contain these things. There are certain rhythms and velocities, and directions that the eye gets engaged with."
—David Salle
