Beyond the Narrow Gate, 1995, Installed at Stark Gallery, New York City

Presumably because of its indifference to the standard rectangular format of the room in which it was placed, it seemed to float free of the particularity of the space. The sensation was of a sort of transcendence. …The line, which does not so much define the boundary of the work as it constitutes the work as boundary, seems to proceed in a constant state of expansion. It is not the centered, delimited curve of a circle with its constant relation to a focal point, but a changing arc that pulls away from the center and draws back toward it, widening yet always returning to itself. —Barry Schwabsky
