More Subway Stories to Share

January 15th, 2008

So these are the finished products here that I've been working away on. And I've got another one that's nearly done and now I've got my camera too, so I can take some pics. I'm calling this one "St. Mary." All the "Subways Stories" pieces are named after subway stops. It's 8"x8" with acrylic paint, collage and ink on a wood panel. Below is a detail of the piece above. The man on the left is whispering prayers, someone he loves is ill. The woman on the right has noticed this man is distraught and is wondering what she can do.

This next piece (below) is called Prudential. It was made with the same materials and it's also 8"x8"

The detail below shows a bit of the story that I've written within their bodies. The woman on the left is bringing home ingredients for a dinner she'll be making for a new boyfriend. She's worrying about it and hoping he likes Greek food. The man on the right is listening humming along to music, feeling motion-sickness from reading on the subway, and pondering the story he's reading.

These pieces and a bunch of others will be shown and for sale at Nahcotta next month.

And it's time for dinner, so I'll be back with more art and some fun links soon. Happy creating!

I love the way you depict these stories with each character having their own words.

Very nice….I’m going to have to follow your creativity flow….maybe something will rub off!

They are both lovely and very original. Having their thoughts printed on their bodies is such a brilliant idea. You must be very satisfied with these.

I am so in awe of your talent–your work is beautiful!

I think these are so amazing. Your curiousity in exploring the human experience is inspiring. Every person embodies another world and just like you, sometimes I like to figure there story. I definitely would be concerned if I saw someone sad and thinking how I wish I could help. Great job :)

Absolutely wonderful…

The one with the Woman and her groceries is my favorite of ALL the “Subway Stories” pieces so far. Thank you for including bits of the stories that go along with them. Without being able to see them close-up and in person, I’ve never been able to read what they say. So I enjoy it when you share your wording with us. I hear there are going to be some great artists involved in the Nahcotta show. I can’t wait to hear all about it!

Keep on rockin’ in the free-world

I love this one too. It is such a great idea to write their thoughts/ stories on them. I also love how they are both somewhere completely different in their thoughts. Very cool.

LOVE that you’ve included their inner dialogues on their bodies. Love it.
