Afterwords: Lab coat for a mad scientist

Detail of Harkrader's 'Afterwords', a lab coat he wore at the Studios on the Square for 4 years.
 Soiled with the paint of many paintings, Harkrader embellished the jacket with collage from fashion and culture magazines, in addition to figurative drawings in paint on the front, rear, sleeves, cuffs, etc. The lab coat was exhibited in an exhibition at KRONOS Gallery located in Staunton, Virginia approx. 2007. Content circling the collage above contains the text 'Afterwords' which is one of his and Elle's favorite breakfast houses in Dupont Circle / Connecticut Ave, Washington, DC. They made multiple trips to DC's Aaron Gallery, which still represents Harkrader's work. Afterwords Cafe and Grill is located in Kramerbooks.
