About the Work
Richard
Killeen’s
cut-outs
can
be
hung
in
any
arrangement.
He
intends
works
like
this
to
be
“more
democratic…
than
conventional
framed
painting.”
This
leaves
the
viewer
free
to
interpret
the
relationship
between
the
shapes
depending
on
their
own
associations
and
their
experiences
and
to
form
their
own
stories
about
the
work.
