I Don’t Know

I Don’t Know

42 oil paintings on paper – 3″ x 3.5″ each still – Oil on paper, mounted on aluminum

I used 42 oil paintings of my mouth to create this stop motion animation. I have painted enough mouth movements to say almost anything. What was the most profound phrase I could think up? “I don’t know.”

This three word phrase is important for me. “I don’t know” is honest. There are more things that you and I don’t know than we do know. I like to think that those three words “I Don’t know” is akin to opening a door to greater understanding.

Watch “I don’t know” here.
