Contextual notes:

When Paul Strand (1890-1976) first took to abstraction in about 1915 he did not create the complicated fabrications that are increasingly common in contemporary fine art photography. He saw that abstract designs could be created by a different way of seeing the everyday. The ways that bowls could be piled up or the way that shadows formed were manifest opportunities.
