More than one way

I’ve been working on New Perspective for nine months, a long time for me.   I am working from words and experience, not photos.

 There is a lot going on that is … involving.  Now I am working more closely with Gregg on sculpture.  I have worked on 2-d paintings and drawings for a long time, and this third dimension is pushing me around.  I represent gravity in my paintings by letting the paint drip.  In a sculpture, gravity will literally take me and throw me on the ground.  Ouch!  That’s how I got involved in making Poly: means many.   I am tentative, but I’m getting bolder, more confident.  Or so I tell myself.

This relates to this painting New Perspective.  This is grappling with my transition into the third dimension.  I have worked on it from every vertical direction.  Maybe it’s time to put it on the floor?  I won’t work on it above my head, too much trouble.

Medical Debt Horror

2020 will smack many people with horrible medical debt, no matter if they are insured or not.  Trying to deal with it is oh, so …bad.  Harassing phone calls and threatening letters, but no solutions.  Kill yourself?  How do they think you can pay if you do that?

Pardon this interruption

I got a terrible result of my blood test a couple of weeks ago.  As everyone knows now, steroids can work wonders.  I laid low and the numbers are back to normal for me.

Radio Waves- is anyone out there?

This painting is called Radio Waves.  Information coming from outer space?

Medical Debt

I started this painting before the coronavirus pandemic.  I have been fighting medical debt collectors for … forever.  I can read a bill and know what my insurance covers.  Providers are willing to work with you, except when they are wrong.  They dig their heels in and hire debt collectors rather than admit that they pay coders minimum wage, and the make errors.  Now with millions of Americans losing insurance along with their jobs, medical debt collections will be a growth industry.

Antigens, progress

When I began this painting, I thought the wealthy would skate thru this pandemic, with barely a blip on their radar.  The left side was airier.  As each day progresses, I see that there may be a divide between the rich and the poor, but no one is escaping the effects of this disease.  I’ve made progress, but the painting is not nearly alarming enough.
