This is a main intersection near my home. The canyon created by the
building is the real subject of this work. Some people complained about me
painting in the power lines. I suggested that they think of them as the
rigging on a ship. They are part of the environment we create and they
represent a part of the structure of society.
Frequently, young people who stopped to talk to me, wanted to talk
about their own artistic careers. I think it
was because I was near a coffee shop. I could only tell them that doing it,
not thinking about it, was the key.
"Work yourself into thinking. Don't think yourself into working."
My girlfriend, Dorothy, posed for the blond woman on the left.
Others in the painting are people that paused long enough for me to
snag them.
