Indifference
Visual description
A vertical painting divided into three panels, rust orange on the outer edges and dark brown in the center. On the left, a yellow line forms a rigid, angular zigzag pattern with square corners. On the right, a yellow line flows in smooth curves and loops. The artist's signature, "T.L. Ferguson 2000," appears in the lower right corner.
My friend and I were talking about ice cream. He said he preferred frozen yogurt. I told him I strongly preferred ice cream. He said, "same difference." That comment led to this painting.
The two lines represent that idea. One is rigid and angular, moving in sharp, exact steps. The other flows freely in curves. Different paths, different shapes, but somehow treated as if they lead to the same place.
