About the Work
“This
reminds
me
of
when
times
were
less
complicated
-
no
phones,
no
internet,
life
was
simple!
It's
like
the
car
has
been
out
on
its
Sunday
drive
and
Keith
is
polishing
it
up
to
put
back
in
the
garage
-
people
took
care
of
things
then.
I
also
like
the
brick
state
house
behind
the
fence
with
a
concrete
tile
roof,
I
bet
Keith's
got
a
wonderful
vege
garden
behind
the
fence.”
