Muller Family Car Listening Stack
(From Frances Down to Dave)
2011
acrylic on paper
I try to make some ephemeral things concrete. In this
case I’m nailing down a moment when these recordings
were together in the one car we own. It covers the
Muller family listening spectrum: from the drones of
Yoshi Wada and Catherine Christer Hennix (which only
Dave likes) through Grizzly Bear and Liz Phair (Dave
& Ann like) on to Brenda Fassie and M.I.A. (everyone
likes) then The Airborne Toxic Event (only Grace likes)
and finally Kanye West and The Little Mermaid OST
(only Frances likes). The spectrum runs from Dave at
the bottom to Frances at top. This moment is already
passed; Spring cleaning has struck. A whole new spectral
array starts to assemble itself.

For me the ideal joke consists of the viewer/reader
providing 98% of the idea, and the illustration just
filling in that last tiny piece of the puzzle, that makes
everything come together.
Much of my work certainly wouldn’t have happened
without the inspiration I am getting from spending
time with my kids; but I try to use this light and playful
approach merely as a visual Trojan horse to tell a more
or less grown-up story. One thing has changed though:
since I have kids I can lay on the floor for hours, playing
with legos and wooden bricks and pretend that I am
actually working.
