Change of Address

In this early photoetching, a small, stark image of a house on a suburban street is framed by a wide expanse of paper. The simplicity of the composition, with its clean lines and minimalist detail, suggests a quiet, almost sterile environment. The title, "Change of Address," hints at a narrative beyond the visual, inviting viewers to consider the implications of moving or transitioning. This work, created in 1975, predates the energetic, public-facing art that would later define the artist's career. Here, the focus is on a more intimate, perhaps personal, reflection on domesticity and place, rendered through a precise printmaking technique rather than the bold, spontaneous gestures he would later adopt. It offers a glimpse into a formative period, showcasing a different facet of his artistic exploration.
