This coincides with a time when I was subject to Panic Attacks, which are overwhealming feelings of anxiety. Perhaps unnatural developments of mental disorder, psychologic dysfunction. These particular blinds are called venetian blinds and are found throughout homes in california and abroad. They are also a significant presence in the genre of film known as "Film Noir", taking it's name from literary noir, crime novels. Made famous by writers such as Jim Thompson, who wrote poetically about Los Angeles as one big crime scene, with crooked cops, junkies, hustlers, grifters, sideways politicians, and women who steal the scene. Anyway, if you've seen one of these films you might have noticed the distinct use of shadow and light, these blinds are omnipresent and I found them to be a potent vehicle through which I would explore these paintings.
