BREAKDOWN, 2004

Rapidograph, colored pencil

39.4 x 23.6 inches. Private collection

Patrick's world needs the constant preservation of appearances in order to continue to exist. "I just want it to continue," he lets himself be heard. The more he pushes this, the more anger and delusion build up inside him. As part of a breakout from his bubble of conformity, he stumbles across squares and through stores, gobbles down five ampoules of crack at once, grabs a dealer by the collar and croaks a "The 750 iL BMW has the best engine" in his face.
