About The Artwork
The particular joy referenced in this work is the joy of making a discovery: an important scientific fact, spiritual truth, a fascinating new acquaintance, or the perfect cheesecake recipe. It began, like so many of my compositions, with a single curving line -- in this case, a beautifully baroque double spiral. This piece is a perfect illustration of why I refer to my style as "painterly" collage. My brushstrokes are pieces of paper: deconstructed images of clothing and furniture from magazine photos which are de-acidified and buffered with magnesium bicarbonate. What I enjoyed most about creating this piece was the challenge of portraying transparency using opaque materials.

I first began working in collage when I wasn't to buy paints and canvas, but after trying other media I still find collage the most satisfying. I like the thought of turning ephemeral, mass-produced magazine images into something unique and lasting. There is a particular flow to certain curves that feels both right and compelling to me, like the sight of a road winding out of sight that beckons me to follow it. Curves appear prominently in my work because I want to take that road, to explore that line, wherever it leads.
