I transitioned into a rabbit. Well sort of. There is a big company that “allows” me to place my videos and images on its media site. I am not following the Internet design principle of never opening a new window on a link (this rabbit picture) so I warn you now.
The desert has a lot of wild rabbits who love the unnatural green turf.
Interviewer: Would you explain why you added [some odd thing] to this work?
Artist: Yeah that is rather strange. I don’t really know.
Interviewer: What do you mean you don’t know? You made it didn’t you?
Artist: Well yeah but I really don’t know what it means.
Interviewer: That makes no sense at all. How do you make something and not know why you made it?
Artist: Well I was making something and it just happened. I put some other stuff in too but I took that out.
Interviewer: Why did you take it out?
Artist: I didn’t want to look foolish.
Interviewer: Would you say your work is influenced by the writings of Baudrillard, Lyotard, Derrida, or perhaps Foucault?
Artist: I’m not sure. Hmmm, I would probably say definitely maybe.
Interviewer: Thank you for your elucidating interview.
Artist: My pleasure.
Using my trusty cell phone camera I captured a recent digital print on canvas after unwrapping. Yes I know it’s blurry and the color from the snapshot is a little off. There is a bit more greenish tint in the real print. I was aiming for the green/red play of color. The colors of cell phones are dependent on the amount of light in the room I suppose.
My thinking here is that this illustrates the good feeling one gets when a lot of ideas start coming together. Of course other people may see other things, and that’s fine. As long as the eye can entertain the mind.
Below is the image flat on.

One thing I should point out is that the construction of this image is totally digital. I am not reproducing an image of an “original” artwork, such as a drawing on paper or a painting.
