In my Interlusion paintings and collages, aesthetically, the colors are important but not for the optical effect of phenomenal transparency to work. It’s the values that have to work. Formalist concerns have always interested me when they inspire trust in their relational coherence, not just the elegance or emotive quality of a line but the overall pattern and design of the space. When we see opaque color as transparent or perceive opacity as translucence, then we experience phenomenal transparency.
