Catalogue Note
"This is an artist I knew in New York. I was fascinated by the clothing he wore—the splattered and taped trousers, the ripped and worn-out shoes, the plaster spots on his apron. His clothes suggested some of the equipment he frequently used. I wanted to describe, through his clothing, the messy work an artist must do to complete a finished work of art."
