The phrase ‘squaring the circle’ means trying to achieve that which is not possible. Inverting the expression to ‘circling the square’ implies its opposite, that which is possible. The possibility contained within painting. The square is the ground, the painting support, that has to be negotiated and worked around. Circled. Circling the square becomes a fitting analogy for how paintings can be realised and considered.
