This project demanded that we organize vast quantities of material. The subject of this book, Peter Halley, is an artist, writer, publisher and lecturer. To grasp the multiplicity of his production, we began with 1,600 images and edited down to 550 images which we then assembled into multiple, but related, stories. In tackling this process of editing and narration, breaking down and rebuilding, we took our cue from Halley, whose own raw materials consist of conduits, cells and links. We provided a kind of compass in the form of an information bar that runs along the bottom of each page and facilitates linkage within and outside of the book and sparks interpretation by presenting views of Halley's paintings in different contexts, quotations, documentation of events and details about the plates.

While his paintings may initially recall the abstractions of Newman, Mondrian, and Albers, Halley's work breaks with the modernist agenda by insisting on a figurative referent, and, as curator and critic Dan Cameron has noted, Halley "effectively restate[s] the terms of abstraction in our time." For Halley, geometry is a profoundly social fact and his paintings are diagrams of the experience of space and time in contemporary society, depictions of loneliness and of connection.
