ABOUT THE PAINTING:

OPTICS: Acrylic on canvas, 1 x 2 FT.

Optics is the way a situation, action or event is perceived by the public or a particular group of people. I actually finished this piece last week, the day of the Democratic debates. I find politics fascinating, especially the rhetoric of debate. How much is it perception versus reality? What informs our partisanship to one candidate over another? How is it that 2 people can see the same thing so clearly, yet have completely different words in describing it and concepts as to how to approach it? I mean, we’re looking at the same target, or ends, right? Or is our linear trajectory merely muddling the overlying pattern which is the heart of a matter? These are my questions in this piece... don’t claim to know the answers.
