The room around you is a house. Your house is your body bubble. Invaded by misfortune, fortified by paranoia, your house is your thickest hide. It’s shaped in your image, if you have an image and aren’t just living there, having nowhere else to go.
Whiting Tennis MASTODON, 2010
Acrylic and collage on canvas

Whiting Tennis builds and/or paints shelters that are spiritual containers for the thing contained. Their oddity derives from the inability of their inhabitants to focus their projections. His current exhibit at Greg Kucera Gallery is called Walleyed, used in a sense that moves beyond sight into essence.
