Neil Young Series
While working with Neil Young, Jenice was introduced to the art of Wallace Berman, whose work opened her eyes and forever changed the way she saw “things.” That encounter and her love of Neil’s music led to the painting, Train of Love, which incorporates all things Neil and is named after one of his songs. Finding objects from swapmeets, thrift stores, parking lots... and using “very strong” glue, the Assemblage seed was planted in Jenice. Rauschenberg calls them “Combines,” Duchamp “Ready-Mades,” and most recently, the curator for the Assemblage exhibition at the Norton Simon called it “Gluing the World.” George Herms philosophizes that Assemblage is created from “jewels mined from the big mine shaft called Life!”
