HEXAGONSAN
Three six-sided panels that fit together and refuse to sit still
Three hexagons, each painted as its own picture and each able to lock against the others. Set together they read as a cube seen in perspective — three faces of one solid — and then the eye slips and they are flat again, three tiles lying on white.
The painting inside them is the loudest in the whole archive: red, yellow and turquoise laid down in wide sprayed bands with black drawn over the top, discs, a scribbled knot, a spatter. Nothing respects the six sides. Every mark runs off an edge as if the panel were a window cut out of something larger.
That is the joke in the shape. A hexagon is the one form that tiles a plane with no gaps, so it promises order — and what is on it is the least orderly thing here.
