Layers
November 14th, 2008
In the movie Shreck, Shreck tells Donkey, “Ogres are like onions… Onions have layers”. I think the same is true for humans. We layer ourselves behind masks. Even when we reveal something about ourselves it’s tempered and sanitized. Do we truly ever put ourselves “out there” without holding back something? I am attempting to convey that thought in my most current painting, “To Know Me”.
