"Pipe Dreams", 2010, oil/baltic birch, 18"-28". The painting is related to that scene in Jacques Tati’s “Mon Oncle” as Mr.Hulot visits a plastics tubing factory when the main conveyer turns out irregular tubes some parts with more air in them than others. Great movie and director. This work is from the “Science Frictions” series.

"Castle"(for Kafka), 2003, oil/baltic birch.
                   19"-17".
                  This painting is for Franz Kafka
                   and Paul Klee, the two "K"s.
            
                   Klee's paintings contain arrows that lead to
                   no specific direction
                   for those wandering characters
                   in Kafka's novels.
