“I have been really inspired by Ad Reinhardt's 'Abstract Painting' from

1963 which depicts nine very subtle shades of black. At first glance, the

viewer sees a flat black canvas. Over time, the viewer notices the subtle

tone differences - one is more red, another blue, one slightly green. The

viewer wonders: which is the true black? That concept has resonated with me

when I contemplate the subtleties in silence.”
