I am intrigued by the dichotomy between inside and outside, especially when the two roles are bent and you have an interior that is actually outside, like this porch where there is a window wall with a door that separates two outside spaces. Or like the entrance to the Rodin Museum garden in Philadelphia, which is the façade of a mansion erected as a sort of grand archway. You walk through the front doorway into a continuation of outdoors. There’s a new kind of space that’s created. I try to do that in this painting.
For those with low vision:
In overlapping images, reminiscent of a double-exposed photograph, this painting depicts two different layered perspectives of a home. The top portion of the painting depicts the view through an open door and large paned glass windows onto the porch of a home overlooking the ocean. Picture below, is the view of a yellow lounge chair next to a small coffee table, set in front of three large windows looking out onto the yard.
