Dream Object (Presence Sculpture: “I was working on these shaped canvases and sculptures that had printed blowups of appliances and added elements such as expressionist drips, shirtless guys in pain, cartoon and Fauvist chickens, and cartoon elements. One was like a reduced scale version of the bone sculpture with no top or exterior thin buttresses, and the biggest had a Judd-like rectangular holes and half cylinder on the back with drips coming from it. My LA dealer came in and said he wanted them all and I said no. There were elements of Bacon and the shirtless men referenced the Netter CIBA-Geigy medical illustrations and probably Longo. The shapes seemed to refer to the object on the cover of Led Zeppelin’s “Presence”. The Baileys had tried to get a group to buy their mansion, which was now on an island in the middle of the street in Danna Ruscha’s old neighborhood. Mike had also done a series of quick sketches for things like “repressed school memories game” and an issue of Nat’ l Geographic with an artice on Nazism in rock.”), 2010.
