cacophony-cacography-the last days of bush, diptych, oil on canvas, 72"x48"

I was drawing knots, partly as a comment on the yellow ribbons on all the cars and partly because I like drawing them. One thing led to another; I wanted to make a big snarl. I happened upon the word "cacography" and fell in love with it. Meanwhile back in America lots of confusing stuff was happening.
