Description
II have had this painting hanging on my wall for about 30 years. It's an old piece of plywood cut out from inside a big letter on a sign that Perry was doing at the time. Scraps like this would lie around on the floor of the studio, picking up drips and smears of paint as Perry painted signs to pay the rent. Occasionally, the scraps would become more interesting than the signs, and Perry would pick up a piece and finish it out into something like this. I don't really know what it is, but I've always thought of it as a helmet. Just having it hanging on the wall makes me feel safe when I drift off into dream land at bedtime.
