So I was racking my brain to come up with a scene for this Giorgione thing, freaking out because I couldn’t come up with anything good along with not wanting to take all the time to build some more figures. I wanted to get a big painting going while I worked on putting together some other ideas/setups/action figures/compositions. I’m referring to the still-lifes as compositions now, since the fruity-esque connotation the label has is unsettling to me. It’s essentially a 3-D composition I make into 2-D anyway. Anyhoot, I realized that I didn’t need any figures; this could just be some weird landscape of the mind, something that will let me explore the line between abstraction and representation. In the background I put white space since I am going to attempt to incorporate a wacky doodle back there in paint form. An inspired state of mind. An idea still unknown, taking shape, rumbling into consciousness, picking up some things along the way. Let’s see how this turns out. I got this picture along with some detail shots developed and the kid behind the counter at CVS asked me if it was a picture of trash. He seemed to be pretty impressed when I told him I was painting it. “That’s gonna be hard,” said he.
