This work is modeled after a sculpture by the artist Dou. I created it in anticipation for my first art show when I returned to D.C. after leaving California. My apartment was filled with art and my committee of critics: my sister, brother-in-law, and 2 best friends were over. I didn’t particularly care for the work, it didn’t turn out exactly as I had anticipated and I had it facing the wall, not intending on showing it anyone. My team of critics/connoisseurs insisted that I show it and I did so with great reluctance. As it turns out, people were fighting over this piece. Someone bought it and another person tried to buy it from them. So now, I have a team of friends, some well-versed in art others not so much come by to provide feedback prior to each show.
