Junk

Alkyd on Board

In progress

This painting is something of a return to earlier Window Series paintings such as Menagerie, which featured assortments of various objects jumbled together in shop-window displays. This painting emphasizes the miscellaneous character that window displays can present. It is a meditation on both organization (the objects are haphazardly thrown together in the window, but the artist’s treatment of them is deliberate) and value (the objects themselves are mostly junk, but they can be transformed into a precious work of art).
