What I found interesting about this image is the fact that I looks extraordinary like a painting but in fact is a collage from plenty of magazines put together to form this. My question here is how do we know which is the reality of painting and how we differenced them?

-unreal landcape

-made out of collages

-how do we make the difference

-those rocks are so real

"Looking at Hofmanns’ paintings today, it is impossible to feel the same investment in the battles of theory which were fought across the lines of European Modernism and the emergent force of Abstract Expressionism. Nevertheless, Hofmann’s late work in particular, looks fresh and complex today, and continues to provide invaluable lessons to artists."

"In addition to the standard “My kid could do better,” Voice of Fire was publicly mocked in editorial cartoons, as well as in apparel that included “T-Shirts of Fire” and “Neckties of Fire.” There was even a “Barn of Fire,” after a local horticulturalist jokingly painted the side of his greenhouse in the work’s graphic colour scheme. When the issue was raised among politicos, Manitoba MP Felix Holtmann famously said that the painting looked like it would involve "two cans of paint, two rollers, and about ten minutes." "

"The bench with the light pointing at the wall provides seating for the elderly woman whose memories are moving throughout. Skin, dry like dead leaves in autumn. Lilac winds blowing from other worlds.

The light on the wall operates in the space of painting, anchored to the paint, flat surfaces, and even illusion of this world. The air that blows through the corridor that is the gallery mixes with tendrils of story telling blowing off the surfaces of pictures hung throughout. Walking down the long path paved with wood grain linoleum, footsteps echo in the stillness of the empty. The frieze running around the edge of the room acts like the curtain of a stage, making the play seem cozy. The event is bracketed by something larger, like God. There is fate. We are small.

Building with duplo is work; the work of construction is broken by each person’s play with design as time moves along. The duplo are placed by soft and eccentric hands full of whimsy and impulse, swimming around internal mind space, private and perhaps shared. They, the duplo, are seen against a backdrop of containers placed by sweating heaving irritable bodies, orchestrated, while orchestrating in space. The duplo put together as the containers are, stacked and interlocking. Both present with bright, flattening colors. Within there are actors, conductors, and protagonists.

To build a block of lego, thinking about a pattern or picture on the face of the block. Tying the picture to the structure on the inside. This interlocking in four directions serving two functions…structure building and picture making. The complexity of possibility that emerges in this task parallels the interlocking relationship between ideas, thoughts, images, and evocations given rise to by the work. Memory, decorating, home decor, picture making, surface, body, movement and skin again.

Sitting on the bench – an old woman is memory – eccentric activity, musty dust balls, in the glare of the lights, caught in the headlights like a photograph, phonograph, playing life."
