This body of work is composed of imagistic pieces which employ architectural structures as metaphors for associative thought processes and classification systems. Caldemeyer uses a variety of media, including encaustic, oil, watermedia, and sometimes printmaking and drawing processes, for the contrasts in surface and image quality they produce. Four horizontal panels oriented in opposite directions around a central axis suggest different levels of cognition and a sense of history and/or archaeology. This organization indicates an opposite direction on successive levels which remain a part of the same structure. Caldemeyer wants the viewer to infer a system where, Hegelian, the action on each level contrasts with its predecessor and successor, and to suggest a dynamic and spiral movement of events. The content of the oppositions is expressed by the associations we have with the quoted figures, as well as by formal oppositions such as contrasts of surface, light/dark, warm/ cool, etc. The inhabitants of these structures are quotations from history and art history, as well as invented figures. Caldemeyer hopes the viewer will establish connections between historical classifications and personal classifications with irony and introspection.
