Artist Statement

The World is a painting about information overload. It depicts the world as swirling information that is always changing, often inaccurate, while somewhat illuminating. It is expressionistic information.

  • The $150 11"x14" print (1 of 16 panels) is one of the sixteen panels as shown above, examples are to the left. Panels will be shipped to collectors at random but duplicate panels will not be sent within the same print order. There is a limit of five panels per order.

  • The $2400 11"x14" (set of 16 panels) includes one of each of the sixteen panels.

Prints in the 11"x14" editions are full-bleed, there are no white borders. They should be framed to the edge without a mat and handled with care.

  • The $1800 20"x24" and $2750 30"x40" prints feature the entire image as shown to the upper left. For these prints, our quoted dimensions are for the size of paper containing the images, not the printed image itself. We do not alter the aspect ratio, nor do we crop or resize the artist's originals.

One-third of the proceeds from the sale of these prints benefit Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum.

Cooper-Hewitt presents compelling perspectives on the impact of design on daily life through active educational and curatorial programming. It is the mission of Cooper-Hewitt's staff and Board of Trustees to advance the public understanding of design across the twenty-four centuries of human creativity represented by the Museum's collection.
