Packing roses


Sometimes you are in the middle of things and you have to leave.... this is a piece about packing up the studio mid-series.  I always felt these rose paintings were composite elements of a larger work.. so here I find I was at least partially right.  It may not be the end of the story. I may not know for some time.

Self portrait in cage with open door and butterfly..

You can use a frame for a print of a self portrait but why not a cage? If you sometimes feel that you are in one it can be appropriate. But of course the door is open so it is all about choice. This is a detail from an installation I made as part of a show during January at the Goethe Insitute in Rotterdam. It was all about the effects of living from country to country on the work that I make. I will post the rest of the installation tomorrow.
