Sea Monkey

61 cm x 61 cm 24" x 24" 2016 - 2020

Sea Monkey is painted on a 1 1/2" hollow core panel panel . The paint layer is 1/8 " thick.

"My Sea Monkey went to the river and now we are friends."

Sea Monkey was originally a commission from a car company to make several films of my paint spreading on two foot panels. The films were to be used as source material for touch screens in driverless cars. They wanted the human touch. I suggested setting me up with a studio in Paris for a year would yield some good source material. I've not heard back. The films can be seen on my website.

I got to keep all but one of the paintings per contract. This painting sat around for several years until 2019 when I started reworking it.
