Spark Plug 2 1990 - 52 x 96" Oil Pastel on paper

TOOLNESS € The theme of using a Tool as a celebrated object continues. My brother and I had started to race motorcycles. So the Spark Plugs were born out of positive passion, not heartbreak. Significantly for me, the first major sale of a piece - a nine foot Spark Plug -was to my childhood friend Jim Tillman. Very important affirmation / validation. .
