About The Work
In this etching, James Siena employs his practice of using "visual algorithms" to create abstract patterns. Unlike his other similar compositions, which are rooted in deliberate lines and saturated color, the algorithm for The Woods is almost biomorphic, the lines teeming with life and static energy. "I'm interested in intensity," Siena has said. In this work, he proves that he can express intensity in a visual composition and mark it with the conscious presence of his own hand.
