On view at the Highlandtown Art Gallery, Baltimore. On sale there or on this website. How do we negotiate the space where we live? We shape our environment, but it shapes us as well. These thoughts and this painting were inspired by a walk in Manhattan, with its ubiquitous fire escapes. Although a grid is typically visualized in two dimensions, the fire escapes just above the crowded streets, adding a third dimension to a compressed world. Various stairways, imbued with a sense of journey and aspiration, are utilized in all three paintings of this “Navigation” series. Mixed media with acrylic paint, altered and found photographs, altered papers. 20 x 16 x 1.5”. Free shipping.
