The Bubble Bath series by Thomas Everhart, use the appropriation of Sparky’s (Charles Schultz) characters as the visual object matter, and the titles, to camouflage the certain representations of some other bubbles.
This sanctuary of one’s bubble provides a safe place that allows independent thinking and dreaming.
The Sleeping Beauty combines the familiar Schulz imagery as a reminder, to the viewer, of how essential it was, to the bubble that Sparky and I shared, that the work was to be about something different, and a new way of seeing what he did. The authenticity, within that bubble, allowed me to understand that it’s not what people see that is art. Art is the invisible gap.
So, making the invisible, visible, would inspire seeing other bubbles in this world through the Bubble Bath series.
