    He didn't say anything but he showed me a big square canvas that was patterned with small squares of color of different sizes. The size was keyed to the color and there was also plenty of empty space. It was an
    underpainting on an advanced kind of grid that gave the impression of being very three-dimensional space as some of the sets of squares were in front, some behind, some forward, some receding by virtue of their chromatic relationship. The method also gave a way of implying all kinds of curves and movement in the way the eye followed the pattern of a given set of squares. Musical that way, several sets of patterns relating. It was like this was how he was talking now.
