DOUBLE SENS
1st sketch (no date)
2nd sketch (no date)
emergence of a second direction of the sketch indicated by the octagonal frame (cut paper) and the bottles
4 photo montages of 08/15/2011
1st at 11:01 a.m
The bottles are replaced by a mask and a snorkel whose position clearly suggests (I didn’t see anything when I did this montage) that these are the sexual parts of the character on the left.
From the 1st photo montage, a cash register is associated with the image but always hidden on the backups.
2nd at 11:17 a.m
Image rotation mitigates sexual sens.
3rd at 11:29 a.m
The tuba is in the hands of the woman and the mask-tuba set evokes much less the male sexual organs.

The support become circular to easily switch from one direction to another, and make it possible to arrive from a 3rd sens or more.
The hand holding the knife is inspired by Abraham’s hand in Michelangelo Merigi da Caravaggio’s painting: « The sacrifice of Isaac » .
The faceless side of the yellow character removes the knife from his back or his heart.
I tell myself that the two characters have « good backs ». In french « avoir bon dos » means « to be a good scapegoat »
I wonder what the woman is holding; I will have the answer tomorrow.
The second direction of the painting is indicated by an arrow outside behind the window.
The next day, I see that double is a woman, so I have an answer: the woman is holding a knife. I still don’t know what the woman with the bun is holding and I tell myself that I will have the answer tomorrow.
The character with the big hand seems to wear a mask.

The face of the double is the portrait of Fillide Melandroni, posing for da Caravaggio for the painting: « Judith and Holophern »
When I drew the features of Judith, a 3rd sense appeared to me located just in the middle of the other two.
So I painted the flowing blood and thought the bun woman could be called Simone.
Then I forgot this blood and this meaning.
When I removed the green mask of the character with the big hand, I thought I recognized myself in his features.
Then I wanted to paint the face of the woman with the newspaper, and for fear of recognizing her, I put a mask on her.

4 days after writing the above, I associate everything that had remained in white: the face, the hand, the buttocks, the bun, the newspaper, and I tell myself that I have been spanked a lot.
I stay for hours working on the neck (« cou » in french) of the masked woman… until drawing the cloth… Le coup de torchon!

In this direction, my mother is higher, she dominates me and I have red buttocks. The window is in this direction.
In this direction, I am higher than my mother, I dominate her and my buttocks are white. The white monolith and the arrow are in this direction.
My double looks towards the window.
