Pinwheel

12×16-inch print reproduction of a colored-pencil drawing, reprinted on matte archival paper.

I set the pinwheel in Colorful against a neutral gray background because I wanted the colors that dance on the shiny plastic to have all the glory. Before I could list it here, a detention officer unjustly confiscated it. She was ultimately forced to return it to me, but before I got it back, I made a second, similar drawing, titled Pinwheel, this time with a colorful background. These pieces are, in essence, twins of each other. Ironically, they would not exist together had a bad actor with a badge not swiped it.
