"Popular culture isn't a freeze-frame; it is images zapping by in rapid-fire succession, which is why collage is such an effective way of representing contemporary life. The blur between images creates a kind of motion in the mind." 

                                                                                       --James Rosenquist

About this work

Inspired in part by the Hockney Retrospective at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, NYC, I created this  series of works--the Warburton Series-- which focused on the already significant role photography and time play in my work.  I took a walk down Warburton Ave.  in Hastings and shot almost one thousand photos. I often collage photos as maquettes to paint from, but in this case, I created digital collages as final images.
