I wanted to push the boundaries of what is "normal" when it comes to paintings on canvas. I came up with the idea of joining various size canvases together to create an irregular shaped final piece. This could be thought of as different segments of our lives making up the whole, whilst the roller coaster and Ferris wheel are also symbolic of the trials of life. We see the "standing man"; his back to the world, reading the newspaper over and over - just another day on the daily grind.
