Knowing and Understanding - feeling and seeing are one and the same. A painting as a joke.
I am Understanding that *someone* may be coming from a different set of values and circumstances and I wish to enter in but somehow there is no where to go in this somewhat closeup haptic but flat image. Only those things that are tormenting emerge.
For me this painting has a lot of the charm I would expect from a New yorker cartoon yet, it gives me the willies. Its slick surface, light hearted subject matter, funny drawing dont help me at all. I want poetry - I want information.
