The germ for the idea for this painting came from me just generally day dreaming about power and the different situations in which it appears. One which spontaneously came to mind was driving - the person behind the wheel is who decides. Not just where to go, but ultimately the destiny of those sitting in the car rests with the driver, who could drive to somewhere very dangerous, somewhere unknown or even into a brick wall. I had a story in my head while painting but couldn't create a connection between the situation in my head and the painting. Or at least, any connection which could be seen by someone else. My story is of a bank robbery, which was an 'inside job'. The driver of the car had a relation with someone who worked in the bank, and arranged a robbery with the partner playing the part of an innocent employee, whist granting access to the money. However, in the getaway car, the partner realises they have been tricked as they discover they are trapped in the back and have no say over where they are driving. Hence the title 'You're left' which I interpret as 'You are abandoned', and 'my right' which I take as 'my justice', which is a revenge for some episode which happened earlier in their relationship where the driver was tricked out of something valuable by the other person. If I was in the back of the car I'd be very worried.
