Isleta 

Joyce Kozloff’s "Isleta" presents a visually engaging composition built from rectangular forms and diagonal lines, achieved through a rich color palette and varying textures. The work uses color and texture to evoke a sense of depth and movement. Kozloff’s use of geometric abstraction invites us to consider the underlying structure of visual experience. The composition, divided into distinct yet interconnected sections, hints at a semiotic system, where each color, shape, and texture serves as a sign. The overall effect is a destabilization of fixed perspectives. The repeated geometric forms create a sense of rhythm and order, yet this order is constantly challenged by subtle variations in color and texture. Ultimately, “Isleta” functions as a visual code. It prompts ongoing interpretation, reflecting how art destabilizes established meanings and engages with new ways of thinking about space and perception.
