The Template Files: Works By D. E. May
by D. E. May

The Template Files: Works By D. E. May is a book of images of the artist's work that are interspersed with quotes from the artist. The book is fronted by an introduction written by Anna Gray and Ryan Wilson Paulsen, who wrote A Classroom Reader. D. E. May's work is reminiscent of Agnes Martin, Donald Judd, Robert Mangold and Gordon Matta-Clark. 'This work reflects the abstract climate and restraint that I've tried to keep true in my work over time. A number of years ago a musician was in my workroom holding one of my constructions in his hand and commented, 'it looks like it has always been this way.' I carry that observation with me like a compass. —D. E. May
