This painting is a prime example of what the artist calls his "macro-landscapes." An intentional flattening of the picture plane emphasizes the lines of this unsettling composition, while the varied tones of gray add another dimension of interest. Even the diamond shapes compete with the rectangular, and the objects' placement seems almost haphazard. After wrestling with orientation and perspective, the viewer may distinguishes words..."G - R - A ..." A macro landscape challenges its viewer by taking a closer look at ordinary objects or depicting them from an unusual viewpoint. It forces the "What is it?" question in order to stimulate viewers to see things in a different way.
