About The Artwork
'The imagination is a tree' is a quote from Gaston Bachelard and I use it as the title of this painting (and of an ongoing series in which this work is included). Another related source is from Annie Lebrun: 'si la richesse du monde en oxygène est liée à la masse de ses forêts et si la dévastation de la forêt mentale équivaut à celle de la forêt réelle, de quel rêve pourrions-nous encore vivre quand nous voilà sommes conviés d'assister à la détérioration systématique de l'une et de l'autre' - ('if the world's wealth in oxygen is tied to the mass of its forests and if the devastation of our mental forest is equivalent to that of the real forest, what dream can we any longer live when we are invited to sit back and watch the systematic destruction of the one and the other') - her warning and lament over the systemic concretisation (and loss) of the mysterious or unknown (the surreal) in art. More specifically, with this work I hoped to capture the red time before the light wanes and dusk falls.

'Ce n'est pas la colle qui fait collage.' Max Ernst Lovica Dean is an unknown American-Italian artist. Ovid's Metamorphoses and the paranoid/critical method are worth mentioning as cardinal wellsprings for her practice. Her paintings usually include collage which best expresses the Humpty Dumpty times in which we live, with explicit references to painting of the past, and almost always worked on over years to arrive at a Pompeiian appearance.
