Over The Top, Los Angeles, CA 1997

Housepaint on studio wall and ceiling.


This is an example of a studio piece. At the time, I was working in a one-bedroom apartment in Koreatown. I was interested in the double function of the wall, as architecture and as a surface for painting. The particular style of the interior details and the domestic scale is embedded and at times frames the work itself. Wrapping from wall to ceiling, the painting points to the ceiling as an architectural plane.
