 The Mellow Pad (1951) Stuart Davis Inspiration piece for Elise Margolis for the Under the Influence show, Fall 2016 |
"One of my inspirations has been the work of Stuart Davis. His work always looked to me like a puzzle, with shapes vying for their place. My work is also about finding solutions, making order and creating unity. I don't think I have created a piece in over 20 years that I didn't think of his art before I started. When I need a bit of inspiration as a starting point I open one of his books and keep it in view.
Everyone has an artist who makes their heart pound and Davis does this for me. I was overwhelmed seeing so much of his work together in his show at the Whitney earlier this year."
