NET GAINS s portrays the fragility of the economic web. A metallic eagle, its flight arrested, is stationed on a US quarter, a gleaming ersatz moon. Stoic, the raptor proudly peers from above, clenching arms and offerings, relinquishing nothing. The price of security proudly rises high, being both Icarus and the fly.
1997, oil on Belgian linen, 10 x 22 inches
On those who carry the burden, wondering at the rot.
Not all slippage is hermeneutic.
Detail, Acrylic and tarnished copper on plastic, fiberglass, drywall, 18’ x 40’ x 10’ (dimensions variable). With optional 14 min. sound loop.
An installation in which predator and prey, beneficence and need conflate. Painting cloaks the sculptural, yet the physical can not be denied. The material flees deception, yet illusion chases on. Ruse carrots and corn, rabbits and ravens, are stratagems of confrontational, consumptive sharks and piranhas.
JUST ANOTHER MARKET MOP UP critiques what many consider the natural order, the conditions and consequences of capitalism and international economic policies.

Industrial mop bucket, copper patina, foreign and domestic coins. 14 min. sound loop optional.
Foreign and domestic coins are strewn in the empty bucket with the U.S. currency occupying the upper tier of the bucket (though not for long). A CD sound loop is an optional accompaniment. It plays the sound of the gallery being mopped and coins plunking into water. The sounds are heard backwards and forwards continuously, referring to economic policies that result in reverse financial flow, with the investment of first world countries in developing countries returning to its origin.
Can be shown alone or as part of JUST ANOTHER MARKET MOP UP installation.
