Party to kick at all off: Saturday, Feb. 24th from 7-11 PM! Be there!

I finished "In the Family Way" along with eighteen small portraits yesterday and took them to Picture This for framing an wiring. Very, very happy with the pieces in the show so far. The image incorporated into this post is a detail from "Family Way".

Told you it was surreal. It even includes a bit of original poetry --though I make to claim to excellence in that area. The poem is as follows:

In the family way
transcendent
different yet the same
challenging
depthless
conjured by a name.

So when you see the full piece, think 'Rockey & Bullwinkle'-watch-me-pull-a-rabbit-out-of-my-hat combined with familial secrets. The arbitrariness of these relationships we're born into, and yet how they define us in so many ways.

Probably too deep for a bunch of bunnies, but you know...

It's funny how a project can evolve while you're working on it. The current piece I'm doing, "In the Family Way" was envisioned as a slightly surreal celebration of spring. Now it's a slightly surreal commentary on family. Complete with original poetry and a whole lotta rabbits. I don't know why and yet it makes me happy.
