Recollection

Like Tangerines, Recollection creates a contrast between impasto brushstrokes and the fluid color-blocked background. Recollection uses color, repetition, shape, and texture to convey the process of recalling a memory. Rather than risk being too on the nose, I’ll leave out my thought process behind the placement and color of the various rectangles and leave it to interpretation. Barnett Newman and Mark Rothko were inspirations for this piece.
