Yesterdays Vine
8.5 X 11.25”
mixed media, collage, comic book panels, and acrylic on paper
(previously Progress 001)
Yesterdays wine is an edgy work that examines the influence that comic books have had on my art work. When I was first introduced to Comic books they were a kind of rubiyat for me – a joyful expression of the relationship between text and image.
I’m not as optimistic about the potential of comic books as I used to be and that comes through in the work. There’s also a little cautionary theme about the attractiveness of violence in this work.
