Statement by Edwin Carter Weitz
The Neverending Paintings of The Line Series is a study of the journey of a continuous rule as it enters a composition, meanders through right angles, and exits—only to reappear in the next painting. This ongoing movement examines how a single line interacts with surrounding shapes, tonalities, and textures across a series of 36” × 60” canvas environments. Throughout the work, the line functions as the elixir—the connective force that animates the series.
Set free to zigzag, the line wanders through each space—never confined, always evolving. It leaves one canvas and re-enters another, forming a continuous narrative across the body of work. Like a traveler, it moves through distinct “regions,” shifting from minimalist abstractions to dense geometric fields and eventually into more conceptual terrain.
This series is not simply about a line, but about motion, connection, and transformation. Through trial and error, it was discovered that twelve directional changes created the ideal balance between control and freedom. After the first painting, this parameter remained constant. To date, the line has traveled a total distance of approximately 125 feet.
Each painting contains its own story, shaped by unique formal decisions and evolving artistic concerns. While the series progressed over time, it became clear that the journey was not directed by the painter. In reality, the line led the way.
