Island 7 Frames

​Windows evolved into a more formally decorative series of Frames until, one afternoon, two boys knocked at my studio door and sold me a small still-life painting.  Looking at the painting as it leaned against the wall, I had the idea to paint a frame specifically for the still-life and join the found painting with the frame. I began to search for ‘found’ paintings in the flea markets and second hand shops of Berlin and later at the quais and marchés of Paris.
