META MIRO
Four Versions : One Hundred Ninety Two Iterations
The title “Meta Miro” came first. I usually select image sets to work with before starting an image, although I have no idea of, they (the images) will interact with each other. I had just finished the “Napoleon Monkey” recombination (for the second time) and was anxious start a new project from the ground up.
I had pre-selected an image set to work with included 3D spine renderings (a frequent image in earlier works), Mr. Sparkle (artwork from a package of fireworks), Jujubes (packaging) and a salacious image from the thirties. I labored to make this combination work images however by iteration eighty-seven I abandon everything but Mr. Sparkle and introduce the Bazooka packaging as the primary focus.
My work as Rauschenberg Jr. has prompted a good number of questions. The most common “What’s the gum stand for?”. Humm.. “Art is a lot like gum don’t you think? While viewing or chewing it’s great. After a while it starts to lose its punch. When you’re not in front of it or chewing it all you have is the memory of the experience and a desire to do it again.” Well, only partially. Then again it could be “Alright people lets all try to keep up, we do have a lot to get through here”.
