The lights connect the foreground and the background of the painting, otherwise I’m not really sure why I chose them. There is a connection between rows of lights and being in the limelight, e.g. theater and stadium marquees. This painting would have been exhibited with my other four at the 1989 Corcoran Biennial but for a problem in shipping.

Detail of nightscape with figure seated next to a table on which is a chessboard containing a mixture of microphones and pawns, focusing on the rows of lights that extend to a mountainous horizon
Microphones and Pawns (detail of lights and distant mountains)
