I like windows. My studio in the Sprinkler Factory has two large windows. Large sunny
windows that lighten up my studio, brighten my workspace and let in the sun to keep
me warm in the spring when the heat has been turned off. Thus, when I think of the
Sprinkler Factory, I think of my windows. But my windows also let me look out to see b
eyond my workspace. The Sprinkler Factory has many windows, each with a unique view
that shows a different part of the neighborhood. I experience those different views
by going from one window to another but in my mind they are one. In my piece I have
attempted to create a collage that integrates the view from the different windows into
the one image that I see in my mind. From the windows in my studio I see the street,
fences, a gray concrete wall and the sky; going to the upstairs studios I see the
highway, the Worcester skyscrapers and treetops; and from the Gallery I see the
rooftops, the tall chimney, windows in other parts of building and moss and grass.
But as my piece shows, this is all there when you look out through my window. Of course,
my window is idealized. It is in my mind, after all, and there it is perfectly perfect.
Thus, I added colors and texture, removed the trash and cleaned the glass!
