For 'Sideshow'... I feel that this piece has a surreal old carnivale feel..a behind the scenes man who may clean after everyone has left...the one who gathers the fish for the seals...such a surreal feeling, a plain man who will never be in the limelight of a carnivale. He may dress his best, with an underlying harlequin patterned shirt to add to the feel of a carnival....yet he is just a simple man....who observes quietly night after night . This is a new series of artwork that I have created focusing on damaged tintypes from the late 1800's. The original tintypes have started a jewelry pendant series...as these are the prints that have evolved. I truly have enjoyed this new series...as the majority of the images take on quite a surreal appearance. This piece is entitled "The Tin Fisherman." This print is printed on archival papers with lighfast inks...and then also some hand-manipulation. This piece is on stretched canvas...which the canvas itself becomes a 'poor man's canvas' painted with ONLY things that you can find in a grocery store!!!
