Collage titled Observer

Observer

1989-90
Cut-up screenprint, acrylic paint, and lead
56 x 41 cms

Observer is a companion piece to the collage Data, and like that work it features a man pondering the meaning of his environment. The dark shape hanging from the top of the screen could be construed as a figure. It was inserted after a viewing the great Sergio Leone film, Once Upon a Time in the West which features a startling scene of a cowboy suddenly appearing upside down seen from the inside of a train window.
