The Explorer


This painting was produced in one day, although I did prepare the faces ahead of time. The faces are made of mashed paper and glue, blended together in a blender and then hand formed to make the two faces. They are very lightweight, but quite deep in dimension. The green-blue face stands out from the surface of the painting to about 1 1/2 inches (4 cm.) The black and gold face is somewhat more shallow.

It depicts a nude woman, toward which a ship sails as if she is a new continent. Chances are taken and die are cast, on board and off.

Acrylic on paper, 6 1/2 x 10" (16 x 30 cm.)
