THE FRUIT MACHINE STOPS
you always paint yourself..you may not mean to..
but you do..
this here is one panel from a triptych..
the quatrefoyle is aligned..
in each panel..
in each panel..
the falling boy..
falls at different rates..
just as in slot machnes..
'one armed bandits'
the trick is to line up three symbols..
or images..
that are alike and in a row..
in the centre..t
hen it's payday..
you get a result..
you win
painted in oil on canvas..
1984
the full size of the three..
is 96 x 108 inches..
the title comes from 'the machine stops' by e m forster..
morris lewis has had some influence..
