Flight of Icarus
repurposed acrylic latex paint on canvas
18" x 18"  
2010 


"Repurposed acrylic latex is house paint that would otherwise go to waste, and that I rescue from reject shelves before it is sent to landfills.  The colors of Flight of Icarus are vivid, and represent an abstract rendering of flight -- the ascension and descension of Icarus."
