RED WINDOWS

April 23, 2011. What lies behind red windows encased in this brick. The repetition of 2 and 4, the singular irons, the brick columns. Why did they choose red as the color? Did someone have extra cans of this, or was it a choice of what would look good with the brick. And is this now permanent, preferred to glass? Red windows fronting on the street, facing the church across the street.

DOOR JAM

April 20, 2011. What makes up a vision? So many discarded pieces can be repurposed into endless combinations, an infinity variety bound only by individual imagination. A long black figure anchors this piece, surrounded by the red porcelain plates. The snake wraps the figure in an undulating dance. The entire scene is locked into place, constrained. The figure pushes against it in a continual conflict.
