damn nice! i like the bottom one especially. i'm happy to have seen some of these in the works in your basement. i do like the dryer lint and i like how you can get it in different colors. normally i don't like this kind of stuff...tons and tons of household items...i can't get into rauschenburg...but you got around what i don't like in rauschenburg in that you really got some nice color going on. especially those greens which really make it for me. the only thing i'm not crazy about are the black socks. i can't exactly think why that is but maybe it's because my eyes are just drawn too them too much. like...here's all these awesome colors but oooh the sock and i just keep going back to it...maybe it distracts me or something. i dunno. i also just don't like feet and socks to me are dirty smelly things and the paintings are quite pretty...but that is probably just a personal quirp...is quirp a word?

the addition of socks and old artist statements is interesting! I do like Rauschenberg, but mostly his combine paintings and not so much his sculptural stuff.
