Abstracts: A Splash of Friction (2004)

Put on your thinking cap. What have we got here?




An Acme Transmission clutch gear system? What about the glyphs on the edges of the gears? Why repeat a level of color and a level of grey? With all those tabs, it could represent multiple diving platforms for a Busby Berkeley musical number. Could it be a cosmic black hole in reverse, where patterned matter is being expelled? And that cloudy pearlesence underneath the image - is that leaking transmission fluid?


The Pacific Trust Collection of Laguna Beach used an earlier digital painting for its 1966 American Natural Objects Competition Poster.
