Oil on wood, 48 in x 41 in x 7 in
There is always one piece in an artists’ career where everything makes sense; a pivotal piece, where all the self-doubt dissolves. For me, this was the one. I showed it at different galleries in Toronto, Kitchener and Waterloo, Canada. Then I decided to go on my own and represent myself. That’s when I started exhibiting at the Architectural Digest Design Show in Manhattan, New York. The art and design fair was the right place and the right energy. “The Need For Old Buildings” now sits comfortably among other beautiful artworks within a modern, Upper East Side apartment
This work was inspired by the old and new architecture of New York, with a camera in hand, I explored the city. Back in the studio, using layers of wood, the construction takes the most time, and I stop when I am certain the right texture will respond magically with the paint when the oil colour is applied. Architecture is my metaphor to connect with people on a soul level; imbuing our stories into the work. Inspired by Jane Jacob's seminal book : "The Death and Life of Great American Cities", within "The Need For Old Buildings", every building holds a story.
