Crescendo

2019

About the Item

Crescendo is a maquette created as a preliminary inspirational small model for a large painting from my series 7 Finely Tuned. The form, comprised of a series of curvilinear segments alternately concave and convex, increasing in size and color intensity as the work rises, reflecting its title, used to describe the highest point reached in a gradually rising intensity. Its color, pink, as well as the reflective strips shooting out from the work also connect to the explosion created by the “Me-Too” movement that was unfolding as the work was underway. The form and color can be read as a mirror for the way women who have been victimized have found their collective voice.
