abstracted

The show is purposefully abstracted, says Hull, to allow audience members to attach their own narratives.

The show is centered around her “Linear Language” series, where Hurtado abstracted various words into geometric shapes and patterns to create a new kind of portrait.

He added that the exemption that allows farmers to take up to 20,000 litres a day without a licence meant no-one could be sure how much water was being abstracted by farms across England.

Another key factor is the need to reduce how much water is taken – or "abstracted" – by water companies and other users from England's rivers, the report says.

For here, everything was slightly abstracted — a sonic hum gave way to a hazy mixture of lights as I glanced at various ideas and impressions.
