FINAL ACID TEST 2015


#1504 (Final Acid Test), Ink and watercolor suspended in polyvinyl resin glue on wood panel, 36" x 36"

acid test - a decisive or critical test, as of worth or quality

The first large piece (36" x 36") of the season is the final acid test, which combines the best of the new formulas with older formulas that are still active (see extinct formulas).
The hierarchy of cell size is based on the natural spread strength of the expansion events themselves.
This piece will remain on the studio wall through the rest of the season as a reference for planning future experiments.
