Living with Image #12

Tweet

It’s been a couple of weeks since Tyson Crosbie’s Image #12 from Phoenix 21 arrived in our house (see my blog post about it). Since then, Tracie and I have become accustomed to having it on the wall, but we keep seeing new things in it as we look at it more.

When I look at the image, I wonder when all of the different marks and textures came from and when they happened. Some seem to be paint and some seem to be scratches. Tracie and I both wonder if the orange isn’t from a child with a crayon.

I’m also amazed at how the black/brown mark in the upper left makes all the difference in the image. Without it, the image would be just boring.
