Divorce document #3


The paperwork lingers, and a family dynamic shifts to the sound of opening and closing doors.

  1. Wow. Yet another fascinating one for your...what do you call it...Divorce Papers series? Sigh.

  2. I've inherited my German ancestors' tendency to look at everything first on a balance sheet. I have Excel and Numbers, my father had graph paper and his grandfather (I think, Christopher would know) couldn't go to bed without first balancing his checkbook down to the cent using what must have been a fountain pen. So, I can see the significance of the papers as a subject for serious artistic and emotional inquiry. This one is my favorite so far. It reminds me of the work of David Mack - the butterfly, the exoticism, and the nature of the project (he's published thousands of pages of mixed-media comic books dealing with symbols, grief, motherhood and other daunting ideas).

    Congratulations on taking on this project, and best of luck in all the other things that get in the way of art (some call them "real life").

    I wish I was as painterly and focused! Thanks for the compliment.
