Popping up from the distant past.

For a period of time in the 1990’s, David played with the “Cup” concept.

Although not totally obvious, this small, dynamic upright “The Doorway at the End of the Hall” related to peeling back the layer of observance, as we try to understand how we got from there to here.
Maybe a familiar exploration you have toyed with in the vast reaches of your mind and memory, huh?

Mixed media, 7 1/4″ high X 5 1/2″ wide X 5″ deep.
