Polaroid Project

I made these paintings with a mind to explore the relationship between painting and photography and non-reality. I would have liked them to be less cartoonish but...an 8 hour exam didn't allow for too much finesse. I now want though to create more paintings with the more bleached out palette of a polaroid...all the people in the paintings are friends who volunteered/were beaten in to becostuming themselves and posing with a giant home-made polaroid frame.

Tiny Masters of Today - Two Dead Soldiers

Their mom had silver hair

Johnny and Laura lived next door to me in Brooklyn. We were five and they were twins, the creepy tele-communicative kind. Most days I would hop the broken chain-link fence between our gardens and play. Their room was so decked out with shit, like hanging curtains and porcelain animal figurines. They shared a bed until they were twelve. Laura used to speak for Johnny. Apparently they are now in a band and make good music. They kind of make me think of these guys, The Tiny Masters of Today.
