chair

the image in this painting is adapted from british pop artist Allen Jones' sculpture also titled "chair". i used gouache and graphite on wrinkled paper mounted to a pink wood panel, 8 " X 8".

here are some of Jones' sculptures from 1969, chair and table. i can relate to these for sure.

dear daddy

this summer i cleaned my studio for the 1st time in 3 years,

i found a lot of work that i have not seen in a while.

this is from 1993 when i was at UT Knoxville studying painting.

it is a dye transfer on silk that i made in dick deihnert's fabric class.

i hated that class, this was the only piece that i kept from all of the crap we sewed and made.

i also made a quilt of kurt cobain as a patron saint with a bloody head, funny he blew his brains out a year later. too bad i threw that one away.

one more thing to waste my time,

one more thing and i'm gonna break"
