The other night I was watching a documentary on Keith Haring and I got really inspired by his work process. There is a part of the video where he works so furiously that he starts out painting on the floor and paints himself into the corner leaving almost no standing room. I was inspired by this manic energy he seem to have and began painting on tiny color -aid pieces of paper as I watched this documentary. The results were quite spontaneous this process allowed me to work quite intuitively and bits and pieces of my subconscious began to surface. Lately I am thinking a lot about my lack of money and my prolonged unnemployement. I am feel this lack of money and stability is like this big monster thats eating away at me. I think the faces in this piece represent that monster and the writing is almost like a chant to get rid of my financial problems. Primarily however this piece is an act of self healing it is almost like a prayer sent out to the world.
