Post # 5 (everything in its right place)


This is one of my favorites of the entire series......mainly for the sentimental value. I was living alone in my parents farmhouse and listening to the newly released Radiohead KID A album (as noted by the title---and by the way, was an album that absolutely blew my mind). Every time I look at this one, I think about being huddled around a kerosene heater, with little light, hacking away on the canvas w/ charcoal sticks--the CD player blasting.....

I began to push the figure farther back into the composition and give the environment just as much voice and weight as the person. As with every first approach in something artistic, it is crude yet filled with curiosity and life.....

I also decided to flip the upright rectangle, therefore this one stands at 3.5 feet tall by 7.5 feet wide.

Enjoy.
