Detail from Warhol's Mao print from the Met's permanent collection. I find this small aspect of the piece as an almost abstraction of landscape. There is always the battle of trying to make the entirety of a piece stand on its own; trying to create a cumulative experience within the piece. I can personally attest to the constant struggle to make work which is one solid object, not a collective of details.Not to say that there shouldn't be particular moments of interest in a piece, but no singular moment should overpower the entire work.
