By A Thread Painting

This painting was inspired by a simple woven material I had used in previous paintings. It struck me that this delicate braided thread material was fragile and barely holding together. I wanted to depict this fragility by giving it various shapes that, if bound together, would feel like a coherent whole. As it is, it is in danger of disintegrating and disappearing. I painted ghost images that fade away behind the images in the foreground. I hope that viewers will see in it the fragility of our life here on Earth.
