While the geometric forms of Dorothea Rockburne's work have often linked her with Minimalism, the softness and sensuality of the pencil and paper she uses removes her work of hard-edged rigidity. Her work balances between two and three dimensions; while initially meant to appear flat and non-illusionist, the folding of the paper reveals shape and hides space. Rockburne's Angel series had two groups of work--those that were brightly colored and those that were mostly white. In White Angel #3, shadow creates very subtle effects of color on white paper.
