Mapping and colour effecting how a person or landscape or anything is read. A made up soft science based loosely on phrenology but with a mind/body connection. Colour contaminates and Goethe's ideas are still present. However, colour is also playing a role as the "Shaper" which provides meaning in addition to paint and the image.

from "The Shaper", by Wallace Stevens.

"Paul Rosenfeld was a shaper who lived a life of shaping, that is to say, a Schopfer, who lived for the sake of Schopfung. Perhaps there existed for him an ideal Schopfung, a world composed of music, but which did not whirl round in music alone; or of painting, but which did not expand in color and form alone; or of poetry, but which did not limit itself to the explication oprhique of the poet. But whether or not there was an ideal Schopfung, in which everything coalesced, toward which everything converged, the truth about him seem to be that he was incessantly engaged or involved or attracted by the activity of shaping."

Pertaining to the latest work, the portraits, the still life, everything in the last few months. SP
