Completing the very large woodcut, Backs Fronts Windows (10’7” long, 42” high), took three years of intensive labor, from 1991 to 1993. As its title suggests, this work is related to Scully’s big painting, Backs and Fronts (1981), which was the starting point for his shaped canvases. While Backs and Fronts looks less like an easel painting than a wall, Backs Fronts Windows feels very open to the outside, with three windows and two panels, and with narrow horizontal stripes on either side of the center. Focusing on its center, the print seems symmetrical, but when we look left and right we see that balance thrown off.
