you should get a sitemeter
love the new pieces.
Just wanted to say that my wife and I both admired your 3 pieces at the Black Duckling Art Show.
First of I love your paintings! Second I was wondering what was your idea when you painted Sunday? Also why did you paint the flowers as if they were in mid air?
Thanks guys, I really appreciate the good words. Virginia, with Sunday, I was really interested in moments where the illusion of paintings fall apart and where characters within the painting realize that they are just painted. So, the character in this painting is using the decorative technique of one-stroke flower painting (as seen on PBS) to decorate the surface of the painting that she is in. It also speaks a lot to the roles of women within art history as the hobby artist (or the sunday painter), relegated to what has been considered lower generas of painting, such as flower painting. In that sense, it is also more broadly about how people cope with the structures that have already been placed for them, whether they be structures within a painting or the overarching structures of society.
wow thanks for replying ! I didn't realize how much meaning was behind sunday. I believed that she is in the bathroom because she could be herself and the flowers represented feminism. I am very interest in the roles of women in art history. Can you tell me more?
Sorry about all the question but I am writing a paper on sunday for my art class. So if you can give me more information about you and the art work that would be terrific !!
