I was asked to produce a piece to accompany an existing paper purchased some years ago by a couple from Ancaster, Ontario. In the composition above, a clock tower and exposed timepiece are intersected by a Ferris wheel (from the Pier in Chicago). The banister in the centreis from the Art Gallery of Vancouver and it connects to an iron bridge. The clearly visible words (citta and mostra) refer to an art show taking place in a city in Italy. The suggestive imagery conjures up links between the past and present, and in this busy life, is there time left to take in a "mostra"(art show) or is it a continuous mostra?
I am truly honoured to be doing what I am doing, and when the work is greeted with anticipation, it is a humbling experience. I trust the owners of this piece will continue to see new things in it and will enjoy it as part of their collection.
