ARTGRAM  ·  THE SHAPE VOCABULARY

ArtGram.Spray

Three together, a gap, and one apart. Nearly full, with a single reading that refuses to join the rest.

Means across all 17. 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 Corona, and let one drop back and it becomes Frond, Sprig or Trillium. 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.

The 17

Ordered from the most typical outward. The last of them sit at the edge of the shape, where the next one begins.
