It’s a Wonderful Life
DESCRIPTION
Original collage on 90lb 100% cotton Stonehenge paper | 2023
This new series from Michael DeSutter is a visualization of the passage of time. Each piece is named after an album that holds implicit memories for the artist, coding the work to a particular point in his life most recognized to him now by the songs of these albums. While working on “Implicits” in his studio, an old album came on and DeSutter was immediately transported to an earlier time in life — vague memories and ineffable feelings crept in. As he continued to work on this collage series, he began listening to other albums from his past.
