Night Windows

These keyhole views into tiny worlds come out of my experience of living in a high-rise apartment building. The thrill of peering into a precious sort of scene, to another personal world that manipulates depth perception, makes a profound psychological impression on an onlooker. The view into this window or space is indecipherable from afar without focus on what one is looking at. I push this further and abstract the space more with paint, calling attention to the importance of the unknown. The flat large black grounds that these little peep-holes lie on also set the viewer up to be more concealed, removed in the dark of night, and activate him as a voyeur, waiting for action.
