The Claw Machine
Oil on canvas
16" x 12"
2006

This painting depicts a human claw machine (machines often found in arcades that require the player to pick up a prize – usually a soft toy – using a large metal claw). The masochistic player, whose head is the coin ready for insertion, also serves as the machine’s second foot. The machine’s breasts, also serving as arms, are two encapsulated seasons.

The Claw Machine was the first, and probably the best, of the smaller paintings with cadmium yellow backgrounds. I consider these paintings complementary rather than equivalent to the major pieces, and one should view them as whimsical contemplations rather than evolved expressions.
