These wooden blocks have been hand painted by Beans. They are his early minimalist works. The important factors in this work are material [the presence of], colour and space. The dimensions are also very important in that it is square on all sides and it is to be accurate as much as possible, although these are only studies. The aim is to create an even finish around the edges [needs straight edges]. Beans has only just realized his interest in the use of grids through the development of the basic shapes squares, rectangles and triangles [which can also be interpreted as STOP, PLAY, RECORD buttons]. The square mainly represents symmetry and buildings, although it may be seen as a pixel. The circle is planets and the sun. The triangle is pyramids and a prism of light, where a prism creates a whole rainbow of light. Ultimately he would like to be doing 3dimensional forms like pyramids, cuboids and spheres, so this is only the beginning.
