As she observed the effect of light on both floor and wall, the artist began to acknowledge her tools affixed to the walls. Essential to creating her illusions, these metal and wooden rulers and remnants of used masking tape soon became elements within her compositions. The accurate depiction of her instruments provided a means to reveal different levels of reality in painting, an idea that was of great interest to her as she further considered her medium. At first, the devices that were integral to her daily efforts were incorporated as still-life elements in a traditional sense… Yet in the artist’s hands, it also reveals that even her still life compositions transcend simple description. (C. Brutvan, The Paintings of Sylvia Plimack Mangold, New York, 1994, p. 26).
