I've been thinking of what I want to do with the large painting I am re-working; the one w/the moon and butterflies. Based on the idea that "you can't put a price on nature," this painting is a response to the destruction that is imposed on the earth in the name of corporate profit. I started painting it in 2003. Originally, the stripes and numbers were meant to symbolize a bar code. (The white areas are where I gessoed over the stripes.) I was painting this when I was first pregnant with Duncan. I kept imagining that I was having a girl so the pink color and dress entered the painting. The pinks stripes and the dress don't really seem to make sense to me now so I am re-working it.....round two!
