This painting began with a question: how might I expand the ideas from my Fractured Harmony Collage series onto a larger canvas — without the collage itself? What emerged feels like a joyful reunion. The title, Getting the Band Back Together, hints at that sense of bringing familiar voices, gestures, and rhythms back into conversation.

The composition layers transparent shapes, organic brushwork, and structured, hard-edged geometry — each echoing a different era in my practice. Earlier textures reappear through areas of subtraction, revealing traces of past work beneath the surface. It’s both a continuation and a remix: a return to what has shaped me, now playing in new harmony.

There’s an energy here — a sense of improvisation and reconnection — as if every brushstroke remembers the others and joins in again, creating something layered, rhythmic, and alive. It might speak to anyone who’s found their way back to a part of themselves they’d forgotten — that feeling of coming home to something true and familiar, but newly alive.
