Using a fixed canvas size and a vertical format  Abts deploys basic formal elements such as arcs  circles  planes  and stripes to create powerful works that are at once subtle and eccentric. This extraordinary book  designed in collaboration with the artist herself  is a substantial and deeply insightful treatment of her career to date and features sixty works made over the past decade. Essays not only contextualize Abtss work within an art-historical framework of methods  process  and style  but also examine her paintings philosophical and psychological dimensions and their embodiment of a creative process that transcends the specifics of any particular work.
