In interacting with the work over a significant period of time, we felt that that the most
compelling way to structure the exhibition was to expose the common threads that run throughout this material: formal
constructs such as grids / fields, verticality, pictorial imagery, and repetitive sequences;
content such as color as subject, element as subject, interest in early American history (particularly that of Massachusetts), discourse about other artists and art; and relationships to the history of poetry.
