• Notes:
  A NOTE FROM WARWICK BROWN: In Dice (one of a suite of paintings), John Hurrell sets up a rigidly regular pattern and then determines what colours go where by throwing a dice. The result is a network of paradoxes: the pattern, though rigid, is first selected subjectively by the artist; whereas once the elements determined by the dice have been decided on, the random throwing of dice actually leads to a totally rigid process.
