Anustart

This was a piece for a group show in Raleigh regarding a study on what the public thinks is the perfect painting.

The next thing you should know is that the panel mimics a dishwasher. It really doesn't matter if you see this or not. If the figure on the lower panel is too dark to view on your monitor, it's basically your standard "bound and gagged artist". You can read the tag on the minivan two ways depending on your perspective. It comes from a true story I heard in Chapel Hill:


A guy I knew used to work at Kinko's on Franklin Street, and over the course of a couple of months, had repeatedly seen a license plate that said, "anustart". Disgusted and intrigued by it, he finally saw the owner of the car getting in. He ran out, and said: "Lady! I have to ask, what does your license plate say?" Somewhat startled, she smiled, "A New Start". He then exclaimed, "Lady! that doesn't say A New Start, that says Anus Tart!"
