ok ORIGINALLY when i decided to paint it, it was a 2D design of grungy bathroom tiles. and then we had to take it from there. you cant see in the photo, but the colours are alot more interesting, theres about 15 layers of paint in some parts.

so .. going with the idea of bathroom tiles, my roomate swears that all she can see in it is two bathtubs and a towel, and some panties.

but i also wanted an optical illusion sort of element that wouldnt let your eyes go, so thats where the patches of colour switch with the dark shapes comes in.

ok. some people said they see a snow bank outside of a house window, .. some see the bath tubs and tiles..

but when i was done, for me at least... its like when theres a snow storm here, all the street lights reflect off the snow, and everything runs kind of white and orange. and yellow, and youre inside looking out. for me it creates this feeling of longing, the curious part is that the dark/black parts are mixed on the warm side, where as the yellow beige is cool colours. so for me, all the other interpetations dont quite fit.. i feel dark and warm. theyre kinda cool to look at inperson. keeping in mind that theyre quite bog.. theyre about 2 1/2 feet by 4 1/2 feet each? and then put them together.


.. the sort of feelings that tend to make an appearance when you realise things like...no matter how tightly you wrap your sheets, theyre not quite warm enough, and the kind of silence that descends after you get out of the bath and its 5am. all you can hear is the snow hitting the trees because everything is so hard and cold. the feeling of knowing that no one notice if you played hermit for a couple weeks... and ignored the world, turned off all of the lights in the house, and smoked the nights away in bed, watching the the snowy gusts of street light shadows move across youre blankets.

kind of like that..
