Four Letter Word Paintings
The YEAH/HEAY/TUBE/TOUT/STAR paintings have four letter words as a starting point. They are written or spoken comments about something but actually mean nothing in particular; exclamations of quick scans without really looking. An imaginary line cuts the word up from the centre and divides the canvas in twelve parts resulting in letters diagonally split in two and an intriguing area in the middle.
