For the \u003ci\u003eOut-of-Round \u003c/i\u003eseries, he applied layers of oil stick, through a window screen, to paper he had placed on the floor. Working on the floor allowed him to make use of gravity. As he explained, “the compression of the materials is achieved with a gravitational load that is bearing down on them.” This compression lends the drawing its uneven, tactile surface, as does the accumulative process of oil stick application. “You become the audience in reconstructing the process of their making,” Serra noted, “that becomes part of the issue when you look at them.”\u003c/p\u003e","ai_alt_text":"Large solid black circle with textured gold-fleck edges inside a thin beige frame.","alt_text":null,"visual_description":null,"on_view":false,"created_at":"2017-08-30T15:44:28.000-04:00","updated_at":"2026-02-06T11:59:36.852-05:00","images":[{"id":103205,"url":"https://whitneymedia.org/assets/artwork/12513/2000_10_cropped.jpg"}]},"relationships":{"artists":{"data":[{"id":"1202","type":"artist"}]}}}}
