Gary Spearin's self-proclamation about his role on his personal website as an artist "to make what is invisible visible; to create something visible that summons the invisible" is an interesting statement about his postmodern meaning-making style. Not only does Spearin re-defines lines and strokes in a way quite expressionistically post-modern but he embraces viewers in a meaning-making process which does not end by a casual view online of his works or long reflections in an art gallery. This drift, so to speak, into a whirlwind of meaning-making and re-interpretation upon each "visit" is only emphasized in recent exhibitions. Consider iNifiNiTi.
