A few years ago, I made a sketch with an airplane with stickpins though it’s wings. It was amusing. It has developed into several pieces. A beautiful and common symbol of transformation, and an original inspiration for human is contrasted with mostly modern aircraft, carefully pinned up like a boy scout’s insect collection. I like the absurdly hopeful passivism of the concept, and the results of the painting itself.

“Excerpts from Sonnets…” is a basically an ironic visual presentation.  Here the poems of Elizabeth Barrett Browning (in Braille) are preserved under glass. The original meaning is lost since the people that can read it cannot touch it, and the people that can see it cannot read it.  Handprints and fingerprints in the margins indicate an attempt to grasp for answers that are almost close enough to understand.

Title: “Excerpts from Sonnets from the Portuguese #2”

Medium:  Reverse painted clear acrylic, transfer, acrylic and oil paint, and collage with poems in Braille.

Size: 36”x36”

Year: 2009
