Yellow
Hinge just
happened. I built the shape and painted it in about a day and
a half from a leftover quadrilateral scrap and two triangular
scraps of PVC. I couldn't figure out why this little painting
"worked" so well.
I
was going on and on about it to Captain Marble. He said, "It's
a gift, man. Stop worrying about it."
The
triangle owes its nature to three intersecting diagonals. Its
acute angles produce on effect of pugnacity and aggression. The
triangle assimilates all shapes of diagonal character, such as
rhombus, trapezoid, zig-zag, and their derivatives. It is the
symbol of thought, and among colors its weightless character is
matched by lucid yellow.
