13hx17x2"deep, acrylic on canvas, hand-gilt silver composite wood frame. The first in the 'Ugly Child' series examines the embarrassing emotional instincts and 'personality flaws' we all can't help but express from time-to-time, despite our own knowledge of their ugliness or foolishness, illustrated through painted found images of infants and children, those very vessels of pure expression, in moments of less-than-adorable existence.
