The One Michael Sees, 2001 70&quot; x 35&quot; diptych, oil/wood, sandblasted glass, bolts After Douglas Gorsline, Bar Scene, 1942 Text: We're looking at Douglas Gorsline's painting Bar Scene. I ask Michael to imagine that the woman is his mother, that she's just come home. &quot;Why've you been at the bar drinking?&quot; Michael would demand. I ask if he sees a drink in her hand. &quot;She could be hiding it,&quot; he answers, staring at her in the painting. &quot;I'd take a camcorder,&quot; he continues, picturing her back at the bar, &quot;and record her through the windeow. Whatever she did, I;d have it on tape. Then I'd put it in the VCR. When she wnet to watch a movie, she'd push play and have to watch herself.&quot; Though we're standing in front of a single painting, we see two very different ones. I can't stand the one nine-year-old Michael sees.
