The sticky paintings, primed surfaces coated in Stickum Special and then placed in the landscape to map nature and its movement, came about as the fifth and final result of four previous series of landscape and sound based two-dimensional paintings that investigate the Vermont landscape. Forty 8 x 6” sticky paintings were made at the Vermont Studio Center in Johnson, VT in the summer of 2000. An additional forty 8 x 6” paintings were made in Baltimore, Maryland in the fall of 2000.  Subsequently, a series of 6 x 6’ and 6 x 8’, thirteen total, using house paint and Stickum Special, were created on the Goucher College campus, as part of an 18-month collaboration which culminated with an exhibition in the Rosenberg Gallery at Goucher College, Perpendicular Dialogues.
