Public-Private; an exhibition at the Wm. Busta Gallery; Cleveland, OH; 2008
The works in this exhibition extended my return to the figure as a central element in the images and constituted a transition from what I had come to think of as an over-reliance on the digitally constructed image to an increased use of hand-working with paint. The subject matter and the method are essentially collage, the scenes imagined, but originating in my sense of what is both the private experience of urban space and the changing public nature of urban spaces.
Works illustrated top to bottom:
Street Scene in Sunlight, Figures Dissolving; 2007-08; 60.5"x91"
