Try this when you visit
Give an apparently simple work time. Count repeated forms, notice changes in spacing, and look at the relation between its surface and surrounding wall. A narrow colour shift or a tiny interruption may become the most important event in the image. Describe the change you notice before reaching for an interpretation.
A question to take with you
What stays constant, and where does the work interrupt its own pattern?
