About the Item
LOL (laugh out loud) 2014 4x6" framed. 8x10"
SUBTEXT
This series of small paintings are a mash-up of Renaissance Choir book borders with their ornate grotesques and drolleries combined with actual text messages.
They have been produced with ink,gouache(an opaque watercolor),and twenty three carat gold leaf.
The lettering is in an alphabet designed in fifteenth century Italy.
My work deals with ideas inspired by words and communication.
This SUBTEXT series is meant to be engagingly ironic and beautiful.

Of particular interest was the lovely white lily that indicates Mary’s purity.
On this same sojourn I witnessed the line out the door and around the block of people waiting to get into a contemporary artist’s retrospective. Is that success?
