Teardrop elevator

 

This painting is called “Teardrop elevator.” It depicts a  tall observatory with four ancient legs, standing on a low island in the middle of the sea. The only way to get up there, as you can see, is on an elevator shaped like a teardrop. It’s a rare, for me, vaguely figurative or animal like image. Something about how maybe it stopped walking millions of years ago, and turned to stone.
