I don’t remember being very good at geometry. I don’t remember being terrible at it, but I remember that I hated proofs and pretty much refused to do them. Strange then that I was so good at calculus. I think things need to be a little more abstract before I can wrap my head around them. I may have been a terrible geometrician but Melvin Galapon is certainly not. Judging by most of his work you would think that he and geometry have had a passionate romance for a long time. Almost every piece of his is geometry at its finest and most colorful. He has a way of making the shapes into something more than their constituent parts. You’ve especially got to appreciate his work with those colorful little dot stickers that only seem to get used for yard sales anymore. Scratch that, you’ve especially got to appreciate his whole portfolio. Quick question though, Mel, how do I get my hands on any of those zines? I’m into affordable fabrications of quality works that I can’t afford.
