Like Untitled, 1969, this work is a Labeled Map. Rendered in a brighter colour palette, the cells are larger in this work, with fewer ‘colour’ sections jostling for position. The application of paint is also distinctive; the edges of each cell are not diffused by use of spraying but rather the borders are demarcated with saturated block colour. The colour names in each cell are all denoted in one uniform colour, a very light grey. Unlike Untitled, where the colour name matches the colour it is painted in, here there is a disconnect. The uniformity makes the themes of the Labels Maps more overt. Like a Semiotic diagram, the work prompts reflection on modes of instruction, understanding, signs, and meaning.
