A Childhood on Green Hill

Growing up next to Worcester’s largest park, which used to feature bison, meant climbing trees, building treehouses, stealing golf balls, exploring caves, sledding, skating, skiing, setting and dousing fires there–generally running wild. It was a world apart within the city for every neighborhood kid. The memories? Magic.

Delightful Excess
acrylic with paper collage and mylar overlay on canvas
21.5″ x 17.5″ x 1.25″
2022
With Strut for the exhibit theme, Oscar Wilde’s quote “Nothing succeeds like excess” came to mind. Continuing my love affair with the collision of abstract acrylic painting and collage elements, this piece strives for a dreamlike (or nightmarish?) effect.

Food and sex take on different forms to address our changing needs. Walker’s photo tantalizes; this collage comforts. Young or old, body and soul continue to seek satisfaction.
