YANKEE STRIKE/HIT 2 HAS AT ITS CORE AN EXPLORATION OF 'TORSION'. THE SENSE OF THE ROTATING TORSO AS SUGGESTED BY THE ACTION OF THE FIGURE.

BASEBALL OFFERS A PROFOUND INSIGHT AND METAPHORIC FUSION, WHERE THE DYNAMISM OF AN IMAGINATIVELY OBSERVED ANATOMY IN ACTION ACCORDS WITH THE SUBJECT MATTER....THE ACT OF TRYING TO HIT A BALL. THE PAINTING EXPLORES THIS DUALITY AND REFLECTS THE EMOTIONAL, PHYSICAL, AND PSYCHIC TENSIONS WITHIN THE PICTORIAL SPACE OF THE IMAGE.......HAS THE FIGURE HIT/STRIKED THE BALL? THE AMBIVILANCE AND SURGE GENERATED BY THE DEFINITIONS OF MUSCLE AND EXPRESSION, MANIFESTS THE METAPHORIC SENSE OF 'TORSION'.
