Monograph essay in Roland Reiss Painting and Sculpture (published by Grand Central Press and Cal State Fullerton 2014).   Re-published in Painter’s Table via  Artweek.LA , Jan 5, 2015

The essay explores the philosophic implications of the concept of spatial depth in Roland Reiss’ floral paintings. It contextualizes Reiss work within the important debate over space composition – from Bernard Berenson to David Hockney. The implications of spatial depth are further related to Susan Sontag’s idea that “art is consciousness”
