Some of those I'd been most drawn to appeared reduced, hardened and flattened, a little too obvious: the 1973 expanse of
white Enamelac on an aluminium base that shows in a thin line down the left - hand side and along the bottom; a row of square pieces from the same year, their fat L - shapes of black (oxidised copper, apparently) set off by smaller
white baked -
enamel squares; and 1985's Catalyst III, with its steel bolts and thin, intermittent lines of black
enamel seeming to divide the aluminium base and contain it in a pointedly incomplete frame.
This is clearest in an untitled 1973 work, in which five 8 - inch squares of copper, each with a
white square of
enamel baked onto the upper right corner, reveal fat L's of oxidized metal.
