Where does it all end?

1. Why did Martin choose grids as an aesthetic representation of the infinite when grids have holes between them? Yes, mathematically grids go on “forever,” but in art, a grid is just lines with even space between them.
2. While I do appreciate Agnes Martin’s quest to express infinity art, I have no idea why the grids are considered art. Aren’t grids just math? I realize that it is the ideology behind the artwork that makes it art, but shouldn’t the finished product be taken into consideration?
