In the seventies, Tom Hodgson was creating paintings which he referred to as “process pieces”. In a self-published book entitled “Creativity is Change”, Hodgson describes the materials for these abstracts: “Process materials can come from Canadian Tire, dressmaker's supply, sailmakers, electrical good stores...anything can be used...manufactured or found, new, used, broken...anything anywhere that one is drawn towards.” In “Untitled (1977)”, Hodgson emphasizes texture through collage by cleverly arranging painted-over plastic letters throughout the composition which spell his name and the date of the work. Artworks such as “Untitled (1977)” demonstrate a highly experimental and innovative period in Hodgson's career.
