Begun in 2008, completed in 2020, this piece was reworked and retitled from the original (2010): "The City" (as originally envisioned) an abstract cityscape of New York. Reworked it until it no longer looked anything like a cityscape. There remains a patch of blue sky and shadow-y non-descript buildings barely visible. This city has been over-run by green grass and trees (sort of the opposite of Joni Mitchell's "Paved Paradise"). New title: "This Used to be the City (Now it's Green)." The multiple layers give this piece a texture and 3 dimensional surface . The composition was later transferred to fabric/paper and re-imagined as a sculpted CoLorFIeld "painting." Please see: 3D piece titled "The Physicality of Light" (inventory # 2023-11)
