Two Skeletons on a day in May I, II, and III 2005-6, oil on canvas, 60” x 48” each canvas. Triptych. Total size: 60” x 144” In my work, figures are often turned “inside out” showing conditions, experiences, desires and memories that are not always seen in visual form but that nevertheless exist. These paintings are based on a poem that I wrote called "Two Skeletons on a day in May." The skeletons are a metaphor for the human condition, and they can mean different things. It can be a proclivity for a poetic state or space, or a certain kind of persona, or just the opposite, a mark of sorts. . . an imprint, or fate. . . a skeleton in the closet so to speak. . . perhaps alluding to a dark and romantic situation. The skeletons take on a poetic quality that allude to a(n) (extra) sensitivity of sorts, perhaps a human weakness, an incompleteness or fullness, things in hiding or tragedy and passion. The paintings are about x-rayed figures who are somewhat exposed, and looked at from the inside as well as the outside.
