New fragments goes back and forth between modern consumer products translated into abstract familiar impressions and fragments of art from the past that are transformed into something unrecognizable. Part four here is based on Thomas Cole, and features palettes that would have been alien to him. One strange facet of modern life is that color palettes are chosen and planned by industry experts, so going into stores and malls means that you can choose to pay attention and see what colors marketing executives believe people will like this year or this season. The colors change from store to store, and sometimes they try to set trends rather than analyze them, but overall it's a curious experience where there is an officially decided upon zeitgeist that will determine the clothing and binders and purses for a period.

Do these palettes become obsolete? Are they dated as soon as a season ends? I don't know, but I'm trying to imagine the art of the past being subjected to the trends of palettes, and these compositions try to represent the fragmentary and airy nature of that pursuit.
