"INDECISION"
2008

4. "INDECISION" July, 14, 2008 NEW!
The title was a very long time in coming. In fact, the print was done, with only a space beneath the picture for the title to be eventually carved in. At last, it arrived to my imagination, and was added to the work. But, as usual, don’t ask me about the piece’s meaning. I don’t know. Who is that person standing behind the banner? What do the images on the banner represent? The empty chair? The poster on an easel? The stone water basin on the left? The only thing I can say is that the clouds are in the style currently drawn. They are man-made clouds, so this scene is in the far future, a time which appears in most of my recent prints. So, this is another comment on what we may experience decades or centuries from now.
