| Leather work shoes is a story about my family. I
bought these shoes when intuition
said that my parents would divorce. They were purchased in 1968 the
summer after high school. My father
paid for family clothes, but I saw something. My parents divorced the
following summer
and the shoes carried that tumultuous memory. Eight years later, in 1976, I drew the worn leather shoes. Although badly worn, I couldn't throw them out until the story was told. The same year an art dealer saw the picture and said 'do them over' <> later I understood she wanted a polished product for sales <> but the story was about buying these shoes <> it was not about art <> perfect or not, the story and the art happened once and never again. Over the years, I re-drew my shoes several times because of what the art dealer said <> each time telling the art dealer-shoe story, but never the original story again. |
