Untitled (Abstract) 1963

Mavis Pusey made this untitled lithograph in 1963, and I can only imagine her moving with a kind of intuitive feel as she composed it. It is a conversation of shapes, set in motion to make up an abstract, angular landscape. I wonder what Pusey was thinking as she built up this composition? Maybe she saw architecture in the arrangement of these forms. The dark ink creates a strong contrast against the white paper. It's graphic, bold. A diagonal line cuts across the image. It creates dynamism but also tension, like a tectonic plate shifting beneath the surface. Pusey has a clear vision of space and how abstract shapes can build a world. You see how these elements speak to each other across time. A conversation, always inspiring, always moving.
