NICHOLE VAN BEEK 
“shiftfloates”

These paintings were made as part of series called The Subjects, much of which was included in The Teak Obsessions, a book of poetry by Geoffrey Young. The paintings are not direct illustrations of the poems, but rather provide a visual counterpoint. In these works I was striving to reach a balance between continuity (most being meditations on letter-forms) and variation in color combination, composition, pattern, and painting technique
