What I start noticing in your recent works, Ian, more than the generation of washed out shapes, is the absence of shapes by the same "washing up" technique that also generates those shapes. I think that those "stamps" I was talking about until now would be much less defining if the "big space" around them wasn't there.
There is geometry and there is enhancement of composition by semi-classical "rules" on these images, but it is there in a latent state. It is implicit, not explicit. This one showed that to me very clearly. Just a vague reference to image "partitioning" for a good geometry, but it doesn't stand on the platform of the immediate attention. It rather escorts the sight.
