“artists don't own the meaning of their works” -Roberta Smith
“you don’t have to understand the narrative, it’s the voice that is important” Jerome Silbergeld
“how to out” is the twin of “how to in”, go figure. This one in particular is also related some how to the larger picture “how to anywhere forever”. I love to abstract words, to focus on the different subtle meanings and contexts they can have. There is no definite meaning, but with these two i was thinking about breathing. That the tittle is so short i think reflects how focused and refining i was in the painting of the image. Both of these pictures were worked and reworked quite a lot before they were finally done.
