Primary Structures | Stephanie Martz Gallery, New York City, 1998
Primary Structures is a name adopted from an exhibition at the Jewish Museum of New York in 1996. The title refers to the structures that minimalism combines to create its artworks. In my work i adopted this terminology trying to develop my own dictionary of primary structures, which had to do with neurologically based problems in cognition. Several of these works were adopted from research into agnosia.
In this condition, an individual with perfect vision is unable to see complex images because he is incapable of putting the single parts together and thus lives in a fragmented world.
