Jay Stuckey, Lince
11/02/2009
This drawing is based on imagery from dreams during the course of a week. In one dream the word Lince appeared, which I later discovered is a section of town in Lima, Peru; a type of machine gun, and spanish for ‘lynx’.
Nobody Cares
This reminds me of some of the Thanka paintings I saw in Nepal depicting Buddha’s life story. Adam, is there anyway to post pictures in the comment box? In any case, a google image search brings up a slew of them. I like how I could make up any number of different stories by traveling through the painting in different ways. You have a lot of action in your dream Jay!
Zack, thanks for the reference, I’ll definitely look into it. This whole process is still pretty new, I made another painting recently I’m not as happy with and I have two small ones going now where the images get built up and overlayed to the point where things start to melt into abstract shapes, we’ll see. I’ve also been placing a bit more emphasis of place in dreams, and a little less on people, so ideally an nice simultaneous world of interior and exterior will exist. Hope you’re staying warm in Providence.
