A richly layered abstract composition, this work by Ryan Sullivan harnesses the physical properties of oil, latex, enamel, and acrylic to create a surface defined by chance and material process. Painted over the span of ten days, the piece reflects Sullivan's method of pouring and allowing paint to pool, drip, and cure, resulting in undulating textures and organic forms. The work's title, marking its exact dates of creation, foregrounds time and process as integral elements of the artwork itself.
