‘Burden’, 48″ X 60″, oil on canvas, 1994.

I remember it well, so long ago now, at a typical physical art show, you can see the painting in person. The title is on the wall, sometimes. A friend whispered in my ear, “just number them”. I see now the wisdom in that statement. You shouldn’t need anything really. The presence of the physical painting should make you hear it without me saying anything. If I have done it correctly.

Am I a burden to you? Or are you a burden on me?
