In order to create a denser form and greater spatial complexity, Coupled (1987) takes two models from the Gates series (#1 and #4) and combines them, registering them along their respective bases.

The Gates series (1987) continues earlier painting transformation experiments (slicing, projection...) with simple folds along shape outlines that become structural and self-supporting. In the tradition of large, metal sculptures, the original postcard models were painted black to articulate the new forms.
