"Out Clean Safe Wat," Mixed Media Distressed Painting (8" x 8") July 12, 2011
These works are conflicted. By that I mean that the accidental quality of the distressed
painting technique conflicts with the compulsive need for order demonstrated in
the crisp clean straight lines and the gridded presentation of interrupted
text. At the same time, the
conflict works for me because all “The Waterworks,” are about the perfection in
the natural order of our world, and the destructive process that man is
imposing on it.
This is one of many small 8” by 8” mixed media distressed
artworks produced in the past 2 years.
The small size enables me to get them out the door at a reasonable price
($125.00) including the sixty-five dollars spent on the framing. They are part of the larger body of
work that includes pastels, mixed media distressed paintings, and digital photo montages, “The Waterworks.”
