“Avenue Of Dreams”
Digital Collage Art (2023)

I am a visual artist. I love colour. So imagine my dismay when the basal ganglia at the base of my brain began sending inappropriate signals to the muscles around my eyes twelve years ago telling my eyelids to close. It got to the point that if I wanted to see, I had to tape my eyelids open. Now I get Botox injections every four months – and no more taping. The green image at the top of this collage is part of a graphic showing the injection sites. I see it every time I visit my neurologist. He was kind enough to allow me to take a photo of it during a recent visit. Now it’s in a piece of art.

The Philadelphia Dumpster Divers are exhibiting in the gallery adjacent to the gallery exhibiting the Trashy Women Artists Collective at the Chester County Arts Association. Come one and all, all ages, to experience the reuse of objects turned from trash to treasure through the creative energies of some really interesting folks. Both shows run through March 28, 2023.

A snapshot. A single moment. Like a captured still from a much longer film. These works feel like dreams and like dreams, they can sometimes be disorienting.

I dyed last night. Blue, as usual. Miss tickle painting by A. Cole. Cat toys out of reach. No matter. Finger food trumps philosophy.
