Notice-ing Dana Gordon Knot's geometric abstraction challenges our

Knot's geometric abstraction challenges our conventional way of observing reality

and the one that allows so many forms in the physical universe to exist

As with the shadow boxing practice in which the athlete spars with his or her own shadow

making the artist more aware than ever how landscape – like the body – creeps regularly and unsolicited into her paintings

By applying a dilution technique until she obtains the degree of transparency she creates an ethereal atmosphere that disperses in sheer elegance

Notice-ing Dana Gordon Knot's geometric abstraction challenges ourThis work is rooted in the human figure, but is abstracted. The forms could be construed as figures in space standing, leaning, getting really close, being far awayand are metaphors for the relationships of people, the space between the people and the connection of the people.
