Exit Within 5 (2012)
Last exit
For the years I ran a sporadic blog (Art of the Day being way more intense, publishing-schedule wise!), I titled it Exit Within, and this has been a phrase that has been particularly fruitful for me, creatively. From 2000-2002, I created 4 paintings so-titled, which were all based on the concept. I’ve always liked the juxtaposition of the imagery the two words create, and though all 4 of those paintings were fairly different, they were all at least in one sense meditations on introspection, the inner life, the life of the mind--whatever you want to call it. I returned to the phrase a decade later, but considered it in a different context.
