SDED-Three circles, one broken

SDED - Three circles, one broken, 2023
Acrylic on canvas over plywood, and shaped canvas, 40 x 24 x 3 in (102 x 61 x 8 cm)
The exercise of comparing circles, redefined by the surfaces they are on, is met by an unspoken guilt directed at the overall choice of green, which, in truth, defines the contrast with the dividing red middle gap.
Reaching the elusive 2.5 dimension is still on, and strips of canvas bridge the upper and lower areas running over a vivid red gap in the middle. The three circles depicted here were born from covering a shaped canvas, a regular flat area, as well as a crumpled canvas later to be flattened, showing the broken circle. All elements enhanced by the inevitable use of optical illusion.
