This painting is my donation to the Cascade Aids Projects annual Gala art auction. I have used this grand event with mixed results in recent years to find some exposure for works from my portfolio archives that I think contains certain redeeming qualities, but which have never been publicly exhibited, and also are not likely to find exhibition opportunities elsewhere in my lifetime. This painting began life as a strictly non-objective construct. I came to recognise certain representational elements later...the red bands as the cording on military band unifofrms and the white disk as a moon shape in a night sky. Lately it has come to read rather ominously to me, as a view out from a concrete bunker at night. The title given here is new, created for the entry form for the auction. I felt a need to lighten things up a bit!
