Cube

[acrylic on masonite]

I was in the middle of working on this in the UGA art studio, when Bill Paul, 

director of the Ga Museum of Art, came in - I was sitting in a chair

looking at it, and he asked who did it - I said "I don't know, I was 

just admiring it" - he said it was the best painting he'd seen in the 

student studio in five years, so I admitted I was working on it.

He said "don't work anymore, it's done" - the tan stripes were

masking tape still on the masonite surface, so I removed them and

painted them on and stopped work.. he had no idea it was my

work because it wasn't like anything else I'd done, my work

had organic forms and was usually much more complex

[Drypoint etching, artist's proof]

A sketch based on a painting by Raphael became this drypoint

etching which in turn became a 5x7 foot wall painting

My girlfriend at the time looked enough like Garbo

to give me the idea for this combination portrait

This was intended to be a watercolor painting, but

I never went back and painted over the drawing

When I talked to these guys, they had the same story:

Lost their job, the wife left with the kids,

they were now homeless and penniless

This was an era well before "corporate outsourcing"

of American jobs to Asia, and massive layoffs,

short-term profits for long-term destruction

of the nation

Someone doing demolition on the street below with dynamite

managed to blow out all the windows in this facing corridor of

the Univ. of Georgia's pharmacy building - the entire corridor 

was filled with thick, heavy glass shards when we got there
