A fiction within fiction that is perhaps not too obviously weird. Main image from Pavia, secondary from Venice.

Fiction within fiction is a good way to put it. Combining two cities like that leaves room for people to read it however they need to.

That line about not being too obviously weird caught me. There's a restraint in how you layered those cities that feels harder to hold than just going all the way strange. Keeping it from tipping over into look-what-I-did territory takes real nerve.
Thanks. I don't know whether I can claim to have 'real nerve' but I can say I'm tired of shouty images.
Tired of shouty images is exactly it. I spent years adding one more highlight, one more detail, convinced more meant better. The quietest paintings I've made are the ones that still hold someone's attention in a room.
