peter's tree

|   polaroid negative, oil & water, ink, stamps & newspaper on canvas (24" x 48")

i grew up in new zealand with a boy named peter and have vague memories of a sprite
red-head. losing touch is inevitable as we moved oceans away from eachother. i resurfaced
in minneapolis and he in hawaii. last year he photographed a gnarled and twisted tree and
i fell in love with it...thought it would be such an excellent place to live if we were all miniature
people. i began to draw and paint using old minneapolis newspaper that i discovered had
been used as insulation in my garage.(you all should look in your garages now...treasures are there...)
