A Maze 1977

Joyce Kozloff's 'A Maze' seems to be constructed through a meditative, almost obsessive process of layering and mark-making, which feels like a true labour of love. Up close, you can see how Kozloff uses a mix of colours and patterns to create a complex and vibrant surface, like a hidden garden of secret symbols. Look at the center of the piece, how the geometric forms seem to float in a sea of teal. It's not just a flat image but a field, with each dot a tiny step in the artist's journey. Kozloff reminds me a bit of someone like Agnes Martin, in the sense of using repetition and pattern not as a constraint but as a way to open up a space for contemplation. There's no one way to read this; it's an invitation to get lost, reflect, and maybe find your own path.
