One Door or Another
One Door or Another
12” x 12” x 3/4”
Original acrylic and canvas cloth painting with thread on canvas
One Door or Another is one of the first paintings in a series I am calling“Text-tures.” It has been painted on a piece of canvas cloth with the edges frayed and then attached to a textured but unpainted stretched canvas. Strips of the cloth have been cut and folded down to reveal both the color painted on the reverse side and the back canvas which is seen through the openings. The folds of painted canvas display the words to a quote by the Indian poet, Rabindranath Tagore.
“If I can’t make it through one door, I’ll go through another door - or I’ll make a door. Something terrific will come no matter how dark the present.”
The stretched canvas is stapled in the back and it has been signed and dated on the side of the canvas.
