I like windows. My studio in the Sprinkler Factory had two large windows. Large
sunny windows that lightened up my studio, brightened 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 beyond my workspace. The Sprinkler Factory has many windows, each with a unique
view that shows a different part of the neighborhood. I experienced 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 saw the
street, fences, a gray concrete wall and the sky; going to the upstairs studios I saw
the highway, the Worcester skyscrapers and treetops; and from the Gallery I saw 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!
