Onwards and Upwards


The tension and imbalance in this piece is exaggerated to an extent that it moves beyond disturbing to almost cartoonishly dynamic. Despite the subject's total lack of mobility, he appears to be almost flying across the frame. This is, of course, an allusion to the speed of life, in this case both the all-too-rapid growth of an infant and the speed at which the world undoubtedly appears to the infant to be coming at him.
