No Fishing Sign no. 100

2010
Cardboard, paint, charcoal, conte
16" x 15.5"

This small No Fishing Sign features two distinct bodies of color: a rich ochre above the center line and an antique white below. The phrases “NO MAJESTY” and “NO RESERVE” are scrawled over the ochre, written in charcoal; the word “RESERVE” is struck through by white oil pastel. “NO FISHING AT THIS TIME” is carved with graphite into the antique white while still wet.
