SONORA SÉANCE

47-1/2" X 24-3/4" framed
(4 layers)
Oils, acrylics, spray enamel, and paint stick on black velvet

Bought from a Tucson street person as a contribution to his daily needs, I laid the black velvet painting of a Yucca desert scene on the floor. Every time I walked by, I threw whatever I had in hand (water, turpentine, leftover paints, sprays). The soaked velvet dried in the desert heat with hardly making a puddle. This process took weeks of soaking and drying. I turned the piece upside down and figures appeared as if for a séance. Turned upside down again you can see the original desert-scape.
