...units of arithmetical progression. For instance: 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64. Dean systematically explores the stage space using the most basic configurations: circles of varying breadth, columns and lines, an occasional diagonal.

He got the idea for Bermuda Race from a newspaper photo; Merry Christmas was inspired by a clown on a greeting card. One red, yellow and blue abstract dubbed Unfilled originated as a doodle. Meany confessed that...
