Pozanti's abstract fields are derived from an intensive process of meticulous brushwork that attempts to arrive at what the artist describes as “shapes that have not existed before.” In this, Pozanti mines the legacy of American artist and theorist, Frederick Kiesler, who argued that geometric forms are “the trading posts of visible and invisible forces.” Perceived reality is defined by this continual interaction and he termed the exchange “co-reality.”
