laura barbuto says: September 13, 2012 Reply Thank you. Glad you like it and I think you are right: the strings can’t contain it but they try.
petrujviljoen says: September 13, 2012 Reply Nice one. I also want to know about the strings. They compliment the composition but they are not embedded within the painting, thus an extraneous meaning? I like the way the signature is part of the composition.
laura barbuto says: September 13, 2012 Reply Thanks! The strings are strange to the painting, alien. Tense and unorganic… I like that, they are forced to be together.
petrujviljoen says: September 13, 2012 Okay! I get the feel that you want to contain the painting, hold it together unless it flies off the canvas … lovely work!

Richard Guest says: September 13, 2012 Reply Love the playfulness of your string works – there’s a really nice contrast between the depth of the painting and the graphic precision of the strings.
