To create these paintings, a mixture of water and pigment
is poured onto the surface of the can- vas to produce an enigmatic ground punctuated by pooling sediment and irregular apertures. Over this layer,
the artist’s hand is introduced through rigorous mark-making, in some paint- ings manifesting as words—Houshiary’s frequent pairing of an af rmation and a denial—and in others as lines creating a steady abstraction that radiates its own frequency and energy.
