Shield (Verb)

20″ x 20″ x 2″
Pigment, oil, egg, and skin glue on panel
2008

1 of 9 of the first group of paintings on curved panel, finished in January 2008. 1 of 5 that remain, and are included in the exhibition.

The title just to point out that it interesting to think of what it is “to shield” as well as what it is to be a shield. And to be on the ‘wrong’ side of a shield, but to be invited in (which I think these paintings do).
