Why Not So Spartan?

“With all the economic gains of the twentieth century…the paradox is that we have less rather than more time for reflection and depth, friendship and intimacy, beauty and sensitivity, even common decency. These values seem incidental in the quest for more productivity, more material things, more wealth, more notoriety, more titles and prestige.” Anthony Ipsaro

Bike Month Paintings!

These four paintings were completed in the Transparent Studio to help Spartanburg celebrate Bike Month. No brushes were used. Each piece was painted using tools that were made from discarded bike parts that were left over from the Hub Cycle project with Partners for Active Living.

These paintings are currently on display in the Transparent Studio along with the bike parts used to create them. Each piece is mixed media on board and is hung from discarded bicycle brake wiring.
