18 panels, acrylic on linen, each panel 6"x12"

Obsession is based on a recorded performance of Gino Paoli's Il Cielo in una Stanza by Italian vocalist Mina Mazzini.

Work on Obsession began in 2010, and was completed in nine months. I construe Obsession as a single work — a mega-painting on 18 panels.

Obsession is about watching, and fixation, and about painting. I am expressing the experience of two artists.
