  • THE COLLECTOR
    30” x 40”   $10,000

    Is collecting a disease or a pleasant pass-time? Perhaps some of the motivation to collect is the thrill of the chase. Are Pokemon badges valuable? Only time will tell.

    (In England, the ‘pin button’ is known as a ‘badge’; consequently, making our hero a ‘badger’!)
  • I OWN MY OWN GENOME
    24" x 36"   $6,000

    A double helix mystery: If you don’t own your genome, who owns you?
  • GLOBAL WARMING
    40” x 30”   $8,000

    The docile becomes dangerous through the hoop of industrial history.
  • IN KNOTS
    22” x 28”   $4,500

    How do we feel when frustration overwhelms? Maybe we just tie ourselves in knots.
  • INCOGNITO
    36” on diagonal   $8,000

    Some have their own reasons for hiding behind a mask, while others are forced to remain anonymous. The excuses for tyranny are many.
  • Mental Juggling
    30" x 40"   $8,000

    This is a trick we try to perform all the time. Sometimes the balls stay in the air, sometimes they fall to earth. Keep practicing!
  • SIGNING STATEMENT
    48" x 24"   $8,000

    Just a white feather floating in the void, telling a tale of hubris and cowardice.
  • PEARLY KING
    30” x 40” plus pearl buttons   $10,000
    A London Barrow Boy, (definitely a Cockney) juggles his wares to attract passing trade, inadvertently “speaking” in his native “rhyming slang”. He is dressed in his hereditary “King’s” costume, worn to raise money for charity. Buy a pound of apples from him and you may end up as his “Old China”! (A Barrow Boy is a street trader with a push cart; a Cockney is someone born within the sound of the bells of Bow church in the East end of London; “apples and pears” means “stairs” - sometimes referring to the neat stacks of fruit on the “barrow”; “old china plate” means “mate”.)
  • STRANGE FRUIT (As sung by Billie Holliday)
    30” x 40”   $8,000

    "Southern trees bear strange fruit, Blood on the leaves and blood at the root, Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze, Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.

    Pastoral scene of the gallant south, The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth, Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh, Then the sudden smell of burning flesh.

    Here is fruit for the crows to pluck, For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck, For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop, Here is a strange and bitter crop."
  • HAPPY DEATH DAY TO YOU or THE LIVING END
    30” x 40”   $8,000

    This happy character is always lurking around the next bend. Better to dance with your skin on while you still can!
  • TRAGICALLY CONJOINED AT THE MUSTACHE
    48” x 24”   $8,000

    Together forever; what can they do?

    Dame nature’s trick lasts a lifetime, or two.
  • GLOBAL WARNING
    36” x 36"   $8,000

    The message should be clear by now! The sun's power is reflected in ourselves.
  • WE THREE KINGS
    48” x 36”   $12,000

    Three jolly fellows with far too much influence on who lives or dies.
  • BIRD CATCHER
    24” x 36”   $8,000

    Papageno was the none-too-bright catcher of birds, given life by Mozart and Schikaneder. Perhaps we “birdbrains” could extend the favor to those feathery creatures remaining. Sadly, it is just too late for the dodo.
  • Elephant
    36” x 48”   $10,000

  • AN EQUAL MARRIAGE
    48” x 30”   $9,000

  • MR. FIDDLEHEAD
    40" x 30"   $8,000

  • METAPHOR AND SIMILE
    24” x 30”   SOLD

    Comparisons said in isolation, generally for good reasons, appear strange when brought together.

    (Hair like old straw, shell-like ears, rosy cheeks, button nose, almond eyes, eyes as black as sloes, caterpillar eyebrows, cherry lips)
