A single field of acid yellow. The color of a warning sign. Divided or marked by the smallest possible gesture. Hands of a clock frozen at a particular moment. A diagonal. A notch. A chamfered corner. A boundary condition.
The series title comes from the odd geopolitical term I seem to hear on every morning's news broadcast: the demilitarized strip, the setback, the slim margin keeping two hostile forces from touching. I'm interested in how the smallest shift in division can reorganize an entire field, how the smallest partition can contain or redirect enormous pressure. These are paintings about the charged margin between zones, the arbitrary line that divides, something protected from something else, compressed into a single intervention, with militaristic precision.
