Belief structure: finally a title and a resolution for the small wireframe star sculpture painting I've been working on. Originally thought it would serve as a study for a larger work, and it still might. But it holds its own now, I think. Jonathan's feedback helped me believe in it (thank you Jonathan if you're reading this). I've been spending a lot of time with Hans Bellmer's drawings and paintings, especially an untitled painting from 1956 that was included in Galerie 1900-2000's 2023 show The Surreal World of Hans Bellmer—a thin, delicate, precise constellation of thin forms, subtly highlighted by small pink accents, spanning a cloudy blue-green space that bring to mind knuckles or protrusions from a landscape in the vein of the 20s Paul Klee linework stuff I've mentioned here recently. That must have been a guide for Belief structure, and it seems like it is becoming fruitful to veer further into the space that work lives in as I try to formulate my own way of getting forms to reckon with the illusory space they inhabit, both in the imagination and on the surface.
