In the world of high-tech, a setup is a specific configuration of a set of components. Components of different setups vary according to the configuration required. The non-objective paintings in the Setups series are based on this concept, with variations of visual elements of simple shapes and pure colors creating dynamic interplays of positive and negative spaces.β β β β β β β β β

The Hotel Paisano was designed by architect, Henry Trost. From 1888 to 1896 Trost was a designer of ornamental metal in Chicago where he was greatly exposed to the architectural works of Louis Sullivan and Frank Lloyd Wright. His personal interest in both the ornament of Sullivan and the form conventions of Wright may be inferred from much of his work.
Manifestation of Louis Sullivanβs influence is seen in Trostβs implementation of ornamentation on the exterior faΓ§ade. Trost employed cast-in-place concrete ornament. The coarser technique called for a more simplified morphology than Sullivanβs finely detailed work in terra-cotta. Thus, many of Trostβs designs, including his hotel designs in West Texas, employ plateresque concrete ornamentation.
