Idle Freight
"Throughout my career as an
artist, weeds have been a source of inspiration.
Their grace and linear quality have afforded many an opportunity for
composition and super-imposition. Side tracks of box cars, parked along
railroad lines, spark memories of my childhood when I lived in Grenada, MS.
My dad would take me to the train station and we would watch the "Panama
Limited" flash through - in about 25 seconds. I found these box
cars in
central Louisiana, an endless line stretching into the distance.
Kneeling
behind the weeds and looking through, I had an ideal setting, combining two
things I like."
