Film/Television/Theatrical Projects
One day, got a call, out of the blue from Cricket Rowland. She's was the Decorator on the feature film, 'The Doors'. She had a refrigerator that was going to be a 'hero' thing in the music studio scene. I had just finished painting a large canvas of 'St.George and the Dragon', on another film. Cricket was stressed, she needed the fridge, like yesterday. She had her crew deliver the refrigerator to my location. So I thought...The Doors....'Break on through to the other side...'and...'People are strange when you're a stranger faces look ugly when you're alone...'
Then I remembered, nostalgically, riding in my friend's convertible 356 Porsche, in 1967, near Haight-Ashbury listening to 'Light My Fire.' In his writing, Morrison talked about 'Doors of perception', well that's not Morrison, could be Huxley, but my guess...it was Blake. Yeah, 'the' William Blake. So, I tried to do some spaced out hippy psychedelic induced images a la Blake and throw in some quotes (in French) from the Symbolist poet, Arthur Rimbaud. I'd like to have that old fridge now...anybody know where it is?
