"The State" from my "Fresh Kills" series. This piece was inspired by "Gargantua," (below)
drawn by the great French cartoonist Honore' Daumier in 1831.
"The basic project of art is always to make the world whole and comprehensible, to restore it to us in all its glory and its occasional nastiness, not through argument but through feeling, and then to close the gap between you and everything that is not you, and in this way pass from feeling to meaning. It's not something that committees can do. It's not a task achieved by groups or by movements." Robert Hughes
Concept for a Bas Relief- The Portal
In my original sketch I envisioned a working electric buzzer or bell. This would be a permanent installation, approx. 10' high, embedded into the wall. The piece will be constructed with wood and painted pure white.
