Life-support/Home Companion
 

 

Oil on canvas 
72" X 64" 
1991



This painting is part of a body of work called "Life-support."  When I began this work it was not with the intention of “making art.”  I originally did drawings as a way to pass time while keeping my mother company. 

My mother was sick for five years before she died. She often passed the day dozing in front of the television. It was more bearable for me to witness her decline into illness when I was drawing. I was fully alert and engaged, but somehow protected as well, in my role as observer. 

This work also continues my on-going investigation into the relationship between people and machines.
