About The Artwork
I had in mind some totalitarian state where people were always being watched by other people. And yet I couldn't bring myself to make a totally evil environment. So I imagined more a place where a prostitute was resting against a cold wall, looking out perhaps for her next hit. Meanwhile there's a man across the street watching her. He is looking toward her with a paper in his hand, as if he's checking to be sure she's the right one. These ideas are exactly what I had in mind, but I'm aware that no one needs to know this to come to their own conclusion as to the meaning of this painting. After all, I don't claim to have identified its meaning beyond what was going through my mind.

Born in 1948, I started drawing at age 5. I had a No. 2 pencil and a pad of ordinary writing paper. I’d draw the Japanese Elms in our front yard, my dad’s car out front and the corn field across the street. Grass, sidewalk and street etc. The piano keys inside...This was in Lafayette, Indiana where I still live with my wife of 50 years. Our first daughter (1969) lives in Lafayette, while our second daughter (1972) will move back soon.
