I find these x-ray exposed paintings so fascinating...like Klimt with his porno naked ladies under all that expensive Viennese fabric. I've seen some of this stuff in the repro at ago and I just love it.
What would show up in your work Tim, if it was x-rayed in the future?
Mine wouldn't have much I'm not a thick style layered paintier...just the order I painted or glued I guess....but I try to leave that exposed anyways in pictures...
My work is so layered and dependent upon each, it would be ineresting. I have photos of work that has evolved over the course of a few sessions. I'm reluctant to show these photos because the initial burst of energy(although unresolved) seems more honest than the completed state. I will post one for you!
museums will do anything these days to sell more tickets! AUDIO GUIDE IT! Interview the spider in the corner spinning his web - get perspective on it for an audience dying to get the low-down on the work. Better yet, Mark Steiness from Entertainment Tonight should leave the Bahamas from the Anna Nicole Smith compoundl and give us the DNA scoop on this work. Now, who's your daddy? that's entertainment - and damn - they even painted the walls for it ! WOW. Step right up - get your tickets, step right up! - tuffy
