Liz Collins, Bridge I, Charcoal & colored pencil, neocolor on paper, 27.5 x 40 in, 2018
"The historical root of this is from stock taking - counting or assessing the number of animals on your farm, or the number of items in stock in your shop etc.
To review or make an overall assessment of a particular situation, typically as a prelude to making a decision.
To think carefully about the things that have happened in a situation in order to decide what to do next.
In this installation, which is made up of dozens of pieces made recently to long ago, I am taking stock: putting things together to look at them; to see how much I can cram into a room like puzzle; to see all the parts of me; to understand the facets, the time, the ideas, the divergences, the tracks, the patterns that repeat themselves through the decades; to take stock of the idiosyncratic artist I am. To revel in this, and to see it anew, with you."
