Acrylic, Ink, Collaged Photographic Excerpts
8 x 5.5 inches
2006
The front cover of Time magazine showed the same shot but with one man clambering over the rubble. In the actual story it turns out the man was trying to find his house. Not stuff FROM his house but his entire HOUSE. I couldn’t get my head around it. Such was the desire to do true justice to the power of the original image that I collaged some of the photography into my painting to try to get the impact for the potential viewer to be the same as it had been for me when I first saw it.
All that we build we tear down.
At the end of this street I imagine a big bright sun..!
