Kit White and Form

Kit White, 2010

According to the dictionary, "Form is the external appearance of a clearly defined area."  Kit White states that, "Form accommodates a need to embody an idea or perception.  Formlessness challenges that very need and questions our sense of the immutability (changeless) of things as we know them.  Form is a vessel.  It can be open or closed."  It is true that when I see a shape or defined area, I tend to try to classify it.  Is the shape a person, or a certain object in the world?  To see a form and not relegate it as a thing is challenging.  Accepting a shape, whether open or closed, as just a form, I will need practice.  Enjoy!
