Rusty's Warning
2012
screen print | edition of 8
BUY
$125.00
14" x 17"
Rusty Spear makes door mats and the like using nylon rope and has it all displayed for sale on his front lawn, just diagonally across from the apartment where I stayed. One day he put out a sign with "Warning" written on it, explaining how people have been lifting his merch and how he would make sure that they knew that he knew and how a police officer would be waiting for them on the other side of the ferry, etc. When I decided to create this print of a bright red gas can, I thought that it had the word warning printed on it, but later some time after completing the print, I walked by and noticed that there was no such word printed in big letters on the can!
