This piece is inspired by the desire to shift from way of thinking or emotional and another. It is not compare or judge nearly to see other possibilities. I used individual canvases to create a composite, and then I layered buttons jar, tops, discarded bowls, tiny bubbles, and other objects onto it. Even a piece of shoelace. I arrange these items in such a way as to conjure a pleasant environment, but perhaps one that could become a little monotonous. Even blank has its limits. I'm very attracted to buttons and anything that is iridescent or adolescent. I don't know why but these items remind me of my grandmother and the house I grew up in. Perhaps this has to do with the fact that for example, the door knobs in our house were crystal and I always thought that was kind of neat. Also, I always love wearing shirts that either have per lesson buttons or snap buttons. I am very attracted to bright and shiny objects. I feel like in many ways I'm a magpie in the sense that I find things that attract me for purely aesthetic reasons and then I collect them. When I'm creating a piece like this, I'm thinking about a specific emotion or an image that I had in a dream. In this case, VMH had to deal with floating and flying and basically looking down at lots of little stuff as though I was floating over a beautiful beach that was full of little treasures Often in these dreams I feel like they're going on forever and I'm just floating and kind of keeping myself levitating. It's all very pleasant, but eventually I want to escape into another place. in my life, I have always found it difficult to shift gears if you will and move from one activity to another. So, using children's ink stamping seals, a kind of alternate portal. That is teh brightly colored shaft in the middle that represents an escape another emotional and mental state.
