THE TRANSPOSITION SERIES by Marcia Joffe-Bouska

"THE TRANSPOSITION SERIES" IS A SERIES OF AIRBRUSHED PAINTINGS INSPIRED BY A FAMILY MEMBER'S HEART CATHETERIZATION FILM. AT THE TIME, I HAD THE SENSE OF "LIFE IMITATING ART" SINCE I HAD BEEN WORKING WITH SIMILAR FORMS IN MY PAINTINGS AND DRAWINGS FOR YEARS. THE ABSTRACT TUBULAR FORMS I HAD BEEN PAINTING NOW BEGAN TO REFER TO AN INTERNAL, MICROCOSMIC SPACE. WITH THIS GROUP OF PAINTINGS, TRANSPARENT FORMS WERE INTRODUCED, AS WELL AS FORMS TRAVELING WITHIN FORMS, AND FORMS PIERCING AND PASSING THROUGH EACH OTHER.
