The book, "Growing Shapes: Aesthetic Insights of an Abstract Painter," documents a narrow part of painter Samia Halaby's insights resulting from the practice of actively seeing the world and painting it abstractly. It is an explanation of how she imitated natural principles that allow shapes to grow and evolve in her abstract paintings beginning in the early 1980s. Sketchbook pages, photographs, notes, and essays illustrate the ideas and reveal the thinking process behind her paintings. The idea that incorporating the dimension of time to still images creates abstraction is clarified by descriptions of looking and seeing her city surroundings while walking.
