Outsider Artist Blinded By Shadows

This is a portrait of my friend Debra called The Levitating Oranges Of Borneo and as soon as Debra walked in my living room, where it hung, she recognized herself in it. In the picture Debra isn’t surprised by floating oranges instead on that sunny spring day she is surprised by dust bunnies sliding like low flying tiny angels across the floor in herd formation.

The bunnies aren’t shown nor am I. I knew for months I had had at least thirty seven rabbits living in my living room. But winter shadows crowded the room and the dimness blinded me to the angelics’ location and exuberance.   nancymauerman.com
