Pools - Century [Miami] 2003

Sarah Morris made "Pools - Century [Miami]" with the kind of precision that makes you wonder what was on her mind. This painting is all about crisp lines and blocks of color, mostly sunshine yellow, cut through with greys, blacks, and a few daring reds. Imagine her, maybe listening to some cool electronic music, carefully taping off each section, one by one. It's like she’s building a world, not just painting one. There's a sense of depth that messes with your perspective, like you're looking into a space that doesn't quite exist. Is it a pool seen through the architecture? This reminds me a bit of Sol LeWitt, but with a warmer, almost nostalgic Miami vibe. It is more like a puzzle of what painting can do, always in conversation with the past but speaking its own language.
