Great observation. Really works looking at it thumbnail size, maintains abstraction. Composition is strong. You can tell by trying to take an element away. You feel a loss. Consider how your eye moves. Moving to all elements and returning to the carved and scribbled. The attempt at scribbling out and crossing out the carved in element is a fantastic careless attempt at what, censorship? I love not knowing what's being denied here. As if there is genitalia. I don't see it. Instead it's like saying, "Don't think about pumpkins." You have to think about what's prohibited. The two mount points are where a picture should be mounted, so the whole area could be obscured. They really need to FRAME a photo of this, which is directly BEHIND on the wall. How good would THAT be? The historic layers of plaster and paint tell a story. And the little words marked out as well are also a mystery. So what starts out being a simple texture study becomes a remarkable narrative of people passing and double-objection to subject lost. A world revealed by the absence of something able to cover it over.

ReplyDeletePlacing a photo of this on the wall in the same room. Hmmm...
