Dichotomies presents two adjacent fields painted independently of one another, creating both coincidental connections and moments of dissonance. They coexist in an ambiguous spatial moment, where color establishes the principal relationship and initial impact. The geometric symmetry reflects the human tendency to judge people, places, and events in binary terms: good/bad, like/unlike, true/false, right/left, guilty/innocent.

The strict geometry of the compositional framework contrasts with the variety of painterly incidents—some deliberate, others accidental—determined by the layering of paint. At times, the surface is thick and rough; at others, it is soft and transparent.
