My sister in gave me an interesting image of an old movie theater we knew. The image had been constructed with facets. I asked John if he could make a painting similar to this. He said yes but he wanted to give the idea a more exciting structure using a variety of other images. Moving toward this commission we reviewed digital sketches that showed me what the painting would look like. I gave him the go ahead, and he went to work. I even got to see the painting in his studio a couple of times before it was complete. It was a pleasure to be included. He also posted the progressive images on the web as he got closer to completion. Palace now hangs in my dining room and invokes fond memories for me of going to movies with my sister.
I made the window trim for our cabin and added relief images. There are twenty glyphs on the window and door frames, and on the eaves. Some are abstractions. Others are literal, representing humans and animals. Their material purpose is to bring a sculptural level of fine detail to the building, revealed by the casting of shadows over the course of the day. Their expressive purpose is to bring an element of the spirit to the fabric of the building.
