No. 7 in the row is a diptych executed on 2 sheets, each 22" x 30", simultaneously (for those who care about technical information, there were 153 layers of color). I wished the viewer's eye to move in a programmatic fashion, finding a story among the images, lingering here, passing swiftly there; this was the furious work of a younger artist, burning the energy of the late 20s to mid 30s. Editions were small, 5 to 8 or 9, as the medium was acrylic mural paint with transparent glazes, which can be screenprinted for a very short time before setting. During this time I eventually realized that the fashion of appropriated imagery, which I used once in a while, might cause associations outside the present image, when my intent was to, paradoxically, still the mind as it constructed the story, or more simply, progression of associations - so the following are entirely images from my camera (some textures and images generated by other means - shattered automobile glass on the screen, "bubbles" made of water and spray paint on acrylic sheet, etc.).
