American, all of us
Larger
'American, all of us' comes from the attack on NY that happened a few months before.
Typically, I outline the figure and then fill with color. Here, the colored pencil is applied using varied gesture and technique. The piece explores splintered gravity to push new composition. I tried to break every rule, but in the end, the piece conformed to ordinary principles of composition.
Oct 2001was start to a period of prolific art production. I just retired from house painting and had more energy. This was among 18 interesting pieces produced over the next six months before flaming out.
