"Block Party", 22" X 30"
A pyramid forms
where three large cubes meet. A triangle is formed in the
background because of the cool tones that form the triangle
sides of each of the pyramids. Viewers can elect to focus on the
cubes or to focus on the triangles. A figure is inside each
diamond shape of the sides of each cube or triangle.

"Block Party", 22" X 30", detail.
A detail of
"Block Party" illustrates the many figures that make up the
sides of the cubes and triangles. This detail also helps to
illustrate how the dark corners of the cubes give the illusion
of a triangle. On the other hand, if one focuses on the light
corners of the cubes, one will perceive cubes instead of
triangles.
