"Sure baby, mañana. It was always mañana. For the next few weeks that was all I heard––mañana a lovely word and one that probably means heaven."

 

--Jack Kerouac, On the Road

 

I first saw this text in a word painting by the California artist, Ed Ruscha. There was so much brazen confidence in this phrase, but it was coupled with a surprising romanticism. It instantly caught my eye. Inspired by L.A. Signal Lab and Aperture Duo's energy and unique sound, I was attracted to depicting these contrasting moods in a piece that could bring these eclectic groups together.  (2016)
