This was a series of paintings I did as a statement on painting itself, which I thought was a useless occupation. I wanted to take a number of stretched canvases and find other uses for them. Expose them to something other than paint. Each canvas was given a week to complete.

One canvas was buried in a large hole and covered with dirt. Another canvas I used as a TV tray. I ate all of my dinners on it for a week. I attached another canvas to the front of my car and drove everywhere with this canvas attached to my car.

I had some other ideas that would have been too much trouble or possibly landed me in jail. I wanted to throw one of the canvases from the top of the Carew Tower, our city's largest building. I also wanted to take a canvas and drag it behind a boat from one side of the Ohio River to the other. I never had a chance to do these last two, but three finished canvases were coated with a binding solution and displayed in an exhibition at the Art Academy of Cincinnati's Chidlaw Gallery in 1983.
