The body of work evolved from 1. my obsession with black holes..thus my new coined term "I just painted my black hole...blue". The ability to symbolically apply these "holes" aka "circles" into my art. 2. The actual symbolism as read above in the circle specifically 6 : a group of persons sharing a common interest or revolving about a common center and 3. when discussing what to title this collection "circles" popped into my head and (as always)...the Tori Amos song titled "Cloud on my Tongue"(s) lyrics "Circles and Circles and Circles Again" kept repeating over and over. As well as the IRONIC fact that the location of the exhibition is spun right off of a circle...the poorly engineered thing that you drive around and pray (this is where the a : ring, halo might apply) that you don't crash.

I seriously thought I left my circles in Jersey.

Tori Amos
Cloud on my Tongue

Someone's knockin on my kitchen door
Leave the wood outside
What all the girls here are freezing cold
Leave me with your Borneo
I don't need much to keep me warm

Don't stop now what you're doin
What you're goin my ugly one
Bring them all here
Hard to hide a hundred girls in your hair
It won't be fair if I hate her
If I ate her you can go now

You're already in there
I'll be wearing your tattoo
You're already in there

Got a cloud sleeping on my tongue
He goes then it goes and kiss the violets
As they're waking up

Leave me with your Borneo
Leave me the way I was before

You're already in there
I'll be wearing your tattoo
I'm already in
Circles and circles and circles again
The girl's in

Someone's knockin on my kitchen door
Leave the wood outside
What all the girls here are freezing cold

You can go now

You're already in there
I'll be wearing you tattoo
You're already in there
Thought I was over the bridge now
I'm already in
Circles and circles and circles again
The girl's in
Circles and circles
Got to stop spinning
Circles and circles and circles again
Thought I was over the bridge now
