The Things in the Sky - 2004

These paintings are part of a series called The Things in the Sky are Coming Closer, The Holes in the Ground are Getting Bigger. The figure is the "everyman" character from As A Young Man. In these works he interacts, or mostly fails to interact, with small blue objects and lights that float around him. There's frustration and even despair, with hints of unrecognized hope - perhaps a reflection of trying to live through the current political climate.
