The two that reach sit at opposite ends of the same line. This is the widest a painting can be pulled with only two of its readings — a tension rather than a range.

20 paintings · reaches on Form and Palette · holds on Texture, Contrast, Abstraction and Color Range

The most typical Samara in the catalog: Algorithm of Reflection. Closest of the 20 to the shape’s own mean on all six.

Where it sits

Texture: 2.0 below the catalog median of 3.0
Contrast: 2.4 below the catalog median of 3.5
Form: 3.8 above the catalog median of 3.0
Abstraction: 1.4 below the catalog median of 2.6
Color Range: 2.8 below the catalog median of 3.0
Palette: 3.9 below the catalog median of 4.0

Means across all 20. The signature is what holds for the shape as a whole, not a rule every painting obeys: a named silhouette cutting through a continuum, not a category with a boundary.

What it is next to

Let one more reading reach and it becomes Sprig, and let one drop back and it becomes Spur. Two paintings a single step apart are related in a way you can see, which is what makes the thirteen a language rather than a list.
