This meeting between creator and creation is interrupted by the disembodied, hooded head of a Klansman floating between them. The giant pencil the artist figure holds creates a powerful sense of ambiguity. Is this floating head an unfinished artistic endeavor or the physical embodiment of a looming white supremacy? Dense faux fur is collaged onto the surface of the painting. The introduction of this tactile element gives a perverse sense of creature-hood to the painting itself.Exhibitions
