Power Struggle 2002

Second semester freshman year I took a still life in oil painting course and loved it right off the bat. I learned a lot that semester, didn't know what the hell a diptych was until then! I'll never forget when my professor explained why there had to be a reason for the spacing between the two halves of the painting. In Power Struggle, I began to think about our use of electricity when using a little elbow grease can do the job just fine. The "missing" fork protecting the energy source is in the kitchen being used to stir cake mix while the egg beater sits hopelessly trying to reach the power with it's cord.
