The Tower
Sudden change, upheaval. Transformation and rebuilding.
Initially these air pockets reminded me of Duchamp's Nude Descending the Staircase - the geometry, the echoed repetition of shapes and angles, the curious abstraction of reality. They deflated before my eyes over the course of making the painting, and in doing so, they became The Tower crumbling in agonizingly slow motion.
