Notes

“The blue clam splash pool – so frequently seen worn and used to oblivion, half filled with sand – sits in the backyard, next to the large-scale swimming pool with a protective net and a Kreepy Krauly. The painting’s surface is marred by grey streaks, and a strange white, spore-like texture overtakes the lawn”.1
