Are you the viewers or the viewed? In this abstract painting the gallery attendees are part of the exhibit, enjoying the views from the safe confines on their glassed-in prisms. Is it a post-apocalyptic world or a dream? The painting was based on notes and doodles from 2014 although the design and actual painting was done in 2022. I didn't adhere to the doodles exactly, instead I worked out some more complete ideas in my sketchbook before committing to the painting. The painting has a carnival, house of mirrors kind of feel to it. I do enjoy making paintings that contain other paintings. For examples, I used the device before in
Art Gallery Underground,
Inner Critic, and
Escape Route.
