For many years, Cy has created figurative abstractions that juxtapose words and found visual elements to explore interior precesses like thinking, reasoning, worrying and deciding. In life, these sorts of mental acts draw on myriad sources- things from memory and recent life, things we've heard, said, seen and imagined. Sometimes our mental connections barely hang together, and we need to concoct narratives, mantras or aphorisms to tie up the loose ends.
In her collages, Cy attempts to capture this tying up of the loose ends and to evoke the surprise, relief or calm one feels when an idea coalesces into something that actually makes sense. cydegroat.com
