“During
the years that I worked for an industrial etching company I became fascinated
with the color “ghosts” left behind on the boards that held small signs
and letters in the paint spray booth at the factory. The letters and shapes were
laid out at random on these boards, and colors chosen as per job order. The background
boards were painted over and re-sprayed as the day’s work progressed. I swapped
out new wood panels for the painted ones, took them back to my studio and searched
for the picture each contained. I cut them up, painted back into them, and reassembled
them with painted wood or brushed aluminum surrounds. This was a return, in a
way, to my passion for the unexpected saturated color of my factory painting past.
But as the work evolved, it aslo stirred a visual memory of some stunning glimpse
of a facade or piece of billboard - the sort of vision caught out of the corner
of your eye, usually in passing, that imprints itself on your memory with its
color and shape. - Margaret Grace |
