LIVING IN PAISLEY CITY
"Dance me through the panic 'til I'm safely in." – Leonard Cohen
“In 2005 Cathy Young started making mosaics and collages with a spontaneous and persistent stream of conscious fervor. She Kerouac’d her way through the next year piece by piece with a poetic cadence available only to the uncluttered, unedited mind. There is no rework, no polish– just the pieces that need to be placed there. The result is funny, sad, brilliant, as well as plain beautiful and mesmerizing– from curious to curio, Klimpt to kitch."
– Steve Kramer
