Turn Your Back
2007, color pencil on paper, 32 x 40 inches
An instruction that is also a refusal. Propaganda exists to face you and demand a response; this one tells you to withdraw.
Drawn in the grammar of the raised hand and the rising sun. Refusal turns out to have emblems too, and they look almost exactly like the ones for commitment.
Pooh appears here too, from The Tao of Pooh, Hoff's reading of the bear as a Taoist: turning away is his whole method, and it looks like idleness until you try it.
