FLOWERS AND WEEDS (1997)
Acrylic on Canvas - 36" X 48"When my son Adrian was 3 or 4 years old, we used to go to an abandoned construction site where there were huge slabs of concrete embedded with iron reinforcing rods.When we struck the rebar with a stone or another piece of metal they would ring like bells.
