Two of these exist - slightly different but would work in tandem. The colors are substantially rich and translucent. The oil on the surface orange peeled and looks biologic almost. These are roughly 13x13 - I would have to check again. These are created on hollow core door panels with fineshed sides - wall spacer suspendes the surface off the wall.
It is fun to take ordinary items and make some visual use of them. I think its comforting to people when they recognize items. The meaning may ellude them but there is a connection that means something to each viewer. It might be a spark of a memory of a project you did with dad once ( saw blade), or when you were convinced you could build a deck that didnt sag nor leaned.....etc...you get the point. The item may be simple, common, ordinary - but the story is not laid out for you to ingest. Rather, you are given a topic, item, idea and then you add your story.
It is much like painting "realistic" art. I say it like that b/c most of the beautiful landscapes you see painted are rather random looking up close. The artist gives your eye just a hint at a believable scenario - the perfect shape/shadow, the right dilluted color in the background - a hint here and there. The funny part is your eye/miind fills in the randomness as you step back more and more....then it pops and you question if its a painting or a photo. Little pieces of familiarity gives comfort b/c it is believeable even though it may be part of an abstract. Your mind can sense the right physics or shadows or shapes - when it grasps those visuals there becomes a small balance for the viewer. So that is how you get philisophical about a saw blade.
