Henry Mandell: SUPERUNKNOWN At Anita Rogers Gallery

 

 The Plumb paintings shimmer with thousands of thin vertical lines converging into a veil of color.  A plumb line is traditionally used to level and center one’s self on the surface of the Earth.  It is an ancient tool still in use today, with a hanging weight at the end of a single string that always points to the center of the Earth due to gravity.  In this painting, the lines are the transformed text of poetry by Emily Dickinson, including Come slowly – Eden! (205).
