Some Other Way of Counting
A luminous field of cool, atmospheric color is interrupted by precise geometric forms rendered in metallic paint, creating a tension between the painterly and the mechanical. Hylden's layered surfaces invite close inspection, where subtle shifts in tone and reflectivity reveal the accumulating logic of his process. The work suggests a system of measurement or notation just beyond legibility, evoking the sensation of meaning held at an elegant, deliberate distance.
