  • I could study this fairly large painting for a long time and still miss a lot. I don’t quite get the tension between reality and ideals, there is so much going on. I feel like I’m looking into the bowels of this country with half digested pieces. It’s a powerful piece that leaves a lot to the viewer to react to and attempt to decipher.

    Wonderful pattern in this piece . Objects are recognizable, but also work together to create shapes. I imagine if we saw this in person images would pop out of the darkness.
