NEW SHOW: BREAKING OPEN:
October 10 - November 10 at the Fountain Street Gallery in Framingham MA. the reception (that's when Virginia and I will be there) is OCTOBER 19 5 - 7 P.M.
Here is a little tidbit of my thoughts with our theme, Breaking Open:
The new paintings here in “Breaking Open” are part of an
ongoing series reflecting on thoughts of place and home. I am hoping the viewer
will create his/her own narrative from these “life fragments.” Each painting appears to be broken off from
another; they have a connection but are separate. Incorporating bits of text
encourages closer inspection and further contemplation.
My personal sense of home was recently at a confused state
and these paintings reflect that unsteady time. “Breaking Open” to me is the
moment after I experienced a tricky time: my world was tossed around a bit but
exciting and beautiful stuff came out as a result.
In this show, my goal was to keep the paintings as fresh and
unfussy as possible – many paper paintings are rough and unframed. This was a
deliberate attempt to create a raw moment in time after something has broken
apart and you’ve discovered some of the bits and pieces that are left behind.
