What Killed Bill -- New Assemblage


...on exhibit at the Morris Graves Museum of Art

I have been collecting small "blue things" for a while thinking that I might create a take-off on the famous "Blue Boy" painting. When I found the BILL license plate, and begin the actual assembling of the pieces, the "Kill Bill" theme began to emerge. However, in this case, the question became "what" actually killed Bill.

Liquor, horseback riding accident, auto accident....are just a few of the hints you'll find if you look closely. I was particularly pleased with the little blue "bomb" which are empty aerosol containers.

So, what DID kill Bill?
