“The Dharma - Yo Go Do Be OK” 2022, 24”x36” Mixed Media on Canvas
From my on-going series of works inspired by some of my favorite literary works, this work is my ode to Jack Kerouac’s “The Dharma Bums” — featuring a mosaic of wood tiles on a 24x36 Ampersand Gesso cradled panel. Painted with acrylic and acrylic gouache, the square and rectangular tiles in the center evoke dots and dashes of Morse code, there by spelling out “Yo” “Go” “Do” “Be” and “Ok”. Quotes from the book were then written with a sander overtop in abstract.
