Part of Casey Waterman’s critically acclaimed practice, this unique polyptych creation treats the graphic space as an analytical laboratory for sub-surface tension, deliberately removing parts of the raw figures to investigate the dialogue between presence and omission. The arrangement tracks an intense graphic rhythm across nine independent sheets, where stylized human silhouettes, summer beach towels, and sun hats are distilled into flat, high-contrast color fields over solid sky-blue backgrounds. Heavily inspired by written literature rather than secondary visual art trends, this calculated visual strategy converts domestic memories into an authoritarian tactile presence that forces viewers to ask new questions.
 
By removing parts of the image in this figurative print, he explores the tension between what is present and what is omitted, focusing on the reasons behind these choices and their implications. The cutouts are then reintroduced as prints, paintings, sculptures, and large-scale murals. His curiosity and inspiration stem mainly from written works and everyday experiences, rather than from other visual artists. After conceptualizing an idea, he collects images, some of which are not cut until years later, to help investigate choices and provoke new questions. For Casey, the process and the work are interconnected, with each facet being significant and worthy of attention.
