Mendel-Black’s black and white collapsing grid paintings reference both intestinal meanderings and a type of over-crowded and poorly manufactured shantytown of cubicles stacked on top of one another. His discussions of a collapsed and/or exploding grid function not as a
specific type of political reference, but as a type of sign of resistance to a common or pervasive structure, one which won’t acknowledge that its walls aren’t stable, and that it tends to drip and
leak.
