Visual Poetics... the physical eloquence of abstraction,
and a glimpse into day-to-day experiences
"This painting is about my ongoing distrust of clowns... people who put on make-up and they are –– then they take it off and then they aren't. Noses that honk, but in reality it's just a piece of wood that really doesn't honk at all. This image is related to an older painting, Clown Store. This painting is about the same thing as Clown Store.
Looking at this painting is like the sensation of going into a dark department store on a bright sunny day... your eyes can't adjust at first. All you see is the creepy way the light hits the 'stuff' on the shelves. You just can't trust what you see.
Even though I haven't seen that Clown Store painting in a while, these two paintings are definitely related."
