back... next... Ottoman © 1975 Tom Ferguson
... No idea why Ottoman is the right title for this. I was looking at it
wanting a title, can't remember if I originally had one, went
& looked at the back where I usually write titles... nothing
there so, staring at the image.... Ottoman! That's it!
why? I dunno, seems right. The way Mondrian divvied up the surface
with horizontal & vertical lines appealed to me at the
time... and muted color. I think I got the image from a sketchbook.

above & below you can see the block brick wall of my studio at MSU.
