My
work is informed by a combination of memory, feelings and
notions of how things work in the world today, rather than
specific events.
Live
Free or Die was inspired (precipitated might
be a better word) by what seems to be a growing trend by
some Americans to force a specific way of being on others
in the world. I realized how different the words of the
legendary cry of the American Revolution become when recast
as a command to others rather than a rallying cry for ourselves.
I think American Wedding speaks
for itself to anyone who has experienced the frenetic hoopla
of planning, being in, or attending a wedding, and the difficulties
of contemporary marriage today. I painted this well before
my divorce.
