Original artwork description:

In a canyon of opulence, a faceless sweep maintains the façade. Invisible, androgynous, they are minimum wage, a deduction, a cog. Their hat's brim trains upon the pavement debris. Their broom, like a blind man’s probing cane, locates disposable obstacles. Bin, brim, and broom: extensions of a disposable self.

Oil on canvas with reclaimed redwood floating frame. Hand signed and chopped by the artist. 36" x 52" - 2018.
