Maria Calandra visits the studio of painter Jay Gaskill.
Looking at Gaskill's paintings, Calandra "found there to be a vast amount of visual navigation to do on the viewer's part. Does this corner's formation mirror that of the others'? Does the center act as a mandala or are there breaks in its repetition? How is the white used? If not as a background, then as its own color? Tricking my eyes with its twists and turns, I occasionally arrived at somewhat familiar imagery. It was as though I was finally making sense of the pattern, the colors themselves subtly bringing to mind palettes from another era, the forms reminiscent of graphics familiar yet elusive."
