I really wanted to work intuitively, but with a structure . . . the structure would be there, imposed, after a lot of the intuitive part was done. --Deborah Remington

Remington spent time in Japan studying calligraphy and brush and ink painting styles, and she later suggested that this early experience prompted her interest in the expressive possibilities of just black, grey, and white. The brightly colored chevron in the center area offers a counterpoint to the more somber palette, much like the bright red “chop” often found in Japanese art. Her ambiguous forms exist in shifting spatial relationships that are hard to pin down.
