This is from a series of ink paintings, based on tiny photographs I had taken with a "Brownie" camera when I was eleven years old. I don't think that there was much intentionality behind my youthful self taking the photographs, but when I revisited the images in my early thirties I saw some of the photos as being rather charged. This became even more apparent when I made ink drawings / paintings (a rather slow methodical process) of the images on a larger scale.
The title of this painting alludes to my age, which was most likely around the same as the Korean boy on the left. Most likely his relationship to the policeman would have been much different than mine. That is, as the child of American parents I would have most likely had–in relation to photographing the motorcycle policeman–considerably more license than the Korean boy.
Also in this series: Stage, Amnesia (The Amy Predella), Cyclist and Leap.
