SUPREMATISM ////// \\\\\\\////\\//\\//\\\\.....//..\.,

Really feel happy today as re-looked and thought about Suprematism, specifically Malevich.

(this is from a blog - personally this one is too colourful for me)

What I read today - in more a list/note form than formed sentences - but quotes from 'Styles Schools and Movements'

art of pure geometrical abstraction 

trying to liberate the world from the ballast of the representational world

supremacy of the world greater than the world of appearances

reception of art was an independent spiritual activity, not political, utilitarian or for social purposes

'sensation of infinity'

creating and illusion of space and movement as the elements seem to float in front of the canvas

I am particularily interested in the white on white series - for the floatingness.

 - from MOMA website (or another blog that got it from there)

I'm interested in this extremely sensitivity, banality, where nothing is done but so much is said. There is something really important, to me, about this cool white on the warm ground. The other way around isn't the same at all.

Well what I am getting at is..... this play with surface, pure geometry is something that I am doing in the installations, in the diagrams + with the photographs. I feel that Suprematism is a sort of anchor to my practice - stopping me from going off too far on wild overly imaginative jaunts (which I have a tendency to do do). I don't feel that my work is just about geometry, it is about reducing words and symbols to the level of geometry, about leading the viewer into it and leaving them no where.
