Title:
Chance Meeting in North Africa
Artist Statement:
This work uses reductive lithography elements of the original photo and new hand-drawn elements come together on a 200 pound block of limestone probably mined in Germany years ago. I like the way Jasper Johns uses the images of flags in his prints. They can seem faded, sometimes even reduced. Youth and idealism go hand in hand, but today idealism is not always easy to maintain.
