The painting suggests a person resting beneath a striped cloth or blanket; however, the sky changes viewer’s perception to perceive this striped blanket as a mountain. The text adds a layer to make a viewer consider the comfort or discomfort of reclining. The text reads: He
told me what fine breasts I had as he cupped them in his hands. I
lay supine. He was my doctor. I was in high school. My mother
chose to wait in the waiting room. My mother was a four-pack-a-day
smoker. In those days, you smoked just about everywhere. She loved
her cigarettes.
That She Did
Joan Lesikin
A long and narrow vertical piece, this oil on linen painting combines a story I wrote with image of a striped covering over a body below a sky.
