"Top of the Morning"------------------------------
Rosalie Gascoigne is known for her distinctive assemblage
s of reflective roadsigns. She takes a more subdued approach in her 1994 piece Top of the Morning, as she tries to capture the unique colours and renewed optimism oft found at the start of the day. Retro-reflective roadsigns, in a cracked and worn florescent yellow, are cut up to make the texture for the earth. Foamboard and Masonite, readily shapeable materials, are painted with dull brown and fractured yellow oil-based paints. These landscape evoking shapes are then stuck to a craftboard base for stability.
