Two Birds: Catch of the Day

oil on canvas, 20" x 30"

This is the latest in a series I've been working on for quite a while, in pairing birds with women.  I associate the two with freedom, or lack thereof.  Women often remind me of caged birds, there solely for the pleasure of those looking on. Here, I borrowed an image from a Nan Goldin photograph entitled "Odalisque of the Bowery" and tried to suggest with the bed sheet a fisherman's net she had fallen into, yet another trap.
