“I started jigsawing nice store bought stretcher bars for a few reasons: It’s a great stupid thing to do, who else who be such a fool. It makes things weird, always a plus. I later found that if the outer edges aren’t the straightest, it can make my quickly painted straight-ish lines feel a bit straighter as they leapfrog over the tyranny of the physical edge, a bonus aspect. There’s rectangles and shaped paintings (E Murray, Gorchov, Overstreet etc- all great) but what about splitting the difference? And I found it is not always noticed on the first beat, a nice unsettling reorientation effect. Also gimmicks can be great when it signals some individuality. It’s harder than keeping them as is, and “why would I do this?” tries to put you in my absurd shoes.” - Tom Burckhardt
