ENQUIRE ABOUT THIS WORK

“I’ve been trying to paint this story from the Bible for years, looking for the right space but never captured it until I thought to introduce the horse which acts in place of the family, drooling on the poor man beneath. As if nature is saying, It’s part of the process of achievement to fail, to be drooled on. It’s funny to me that the man is actually playing with the spit, seemingly unaffected by it.”
