JUXTA ART
Where things in our world which have nothing in common merge visually.
It all began four years ago with a photo of the cracked cement wall outside my doctor's office. I brought it home and noticed that it married visually with a photo of the panoramic view of my father's trout stream in the Fall: the same swirling shapes, dark and light pools of water, the texture of the leaves and the cracked cement. Then I began looking around the world for things which have nothing in common, except visually...
Fuchsia anemonies merge in color with fuchsia crystal glasses.
Black and gold leaves merge in color with wine glasses at a gala.
The shadow of a painter merges with the shadow of a flower arrangement in color and shape.
Things are not always the way they seem,
a cracked cement wall and a peaceful stream.
And curly hoses and electrical wires
become something we see and also desire.
Things are not always the way they seem
as a hose on the street becomes our dream.
