Playing



This is playing.

How did cars become gods in our civilization? We (my boys and I) wanted to express our feeling that perhaps cars are not gods. This was not too long after 9/11. There was so much sadness, and we thought we could cheer things up a bit. We were also making a political statement. Conflict over oil has terrible consequences.
It was a white car, too, just asking to be painted.
We were inspired by Wassily Kandinsky. He was a painter who was born in Moscow and spent his childhood in Odessa (where Ooma always said she was from.)
Primary colors--red, blue, and yellow, tend to be inherently playful, don't you think?
