Super Silver Monkey

 An Unlikely Narrative Wrung From Non-Being and Loneliness
 20' x 10'. Mixed media installation. 2004
 home, D.U.M.B.O. Arts Center, Brooklyn, New York

This installation featured our failing hero, Super Silver Monkey, wielding only his intimacy issues and what appears to be a kitchen knife. And directly to his right, with more ambiguous intentions, Chavish, the bodyguard/assassin/ghost of failed rescue.

This work maps their domestic life out of the Superduo spotlight, where they finally have the mental time and space to ask the questions that the less-super rest of us do . . .
