Description
It is a double edged sward. A coin with two sides. My son spends his homeschool days busying his hands making sculptures out of cardboard. It was cars and planes, now its always guns. It breaks my heart but it is his creativity and I am divided in my feelings. Spending 6 hours in front of a computer when you are 10, I understand his need to do something with his hands. I would need to if I were in his shoes. So I provide ample cardboard and inspiration, glue guns and rubber bands. Perhaps he makes cardboard guns as an object of power. Like the cave people painting the pray they wanted to capture, he makes something that would give him power. My daughter has unicorns. She has the lyrics to her song. She has sitting still and behaving well and writing and reading as her power. In todays world, perhaps the female sex is better designed to be warriors of our society. We have a court of quick wits not brute strength. This painting is the battle of the sexes. This piece comes with an official certificate of authenticity signed by the artist. Ready to Hang: Yes. Signature Location: front.
Presentation
Artist Statement:
My landscapes are an idealization, "Sometimes I want to crawl into the landscapes that I create, build a house there or make a sand castle. I see a perfect future, an ideal man, a woman I would like to be, the land I want to return home to."
I want paint to be paint. I want to see the blobs and swirls of how the image is manufactured. I love it when that daub magically becomes two things, a piece of paint on a canvas and the calming gesture of an animal trainer moving a camel to the left, or the nervous glint on the girls face as she both leans in to her lover and pulls away.
