"I like to create an image that when looked at becomes something
else."
- Jasper Johns
At
a workshop on mixed media assemblage, at the Penland School of Crafts in North Carolina, I focused on incorporating memory
into art. As a voyeur into other people's lives, I experimented with creating buildings with windows constructed to offer
assumptions about the lives of those inside. Beginning with structures that are reminiscent of a Hopper streetscape or Van
Gogh’s café and later creating a streetscape loosely based on my hometown, I created three-dimensional structures
that are not fixed rectangles giving viewers the opportunity to actually peer into the work.
