Swiss Army I

| Acrylic and Latex on Panel | Red Oak Self Frame | 36" x 60" | 2021-2022 | Thesis: Putting the fun in function; This piece shuffles the deck on reality. Everyday objects out of place and scale create incongruity and humor. Note One: This larger painted piece is based on a series of hand illustrated and digitally edited limited run prints I produced ten years ago. I wasn't able to scale these ideas up into a piece like this back then. I'm glad I can now. No Regerts! Note Two: I love everything about Swiss Army knives. However; Unless you're open a package or snipping a stray thread or the like... You may be dead in the water. These pocket friends are the archetype for the maxim: Jack of all trades. Master of none. Still love them.
