The Invisible Hand

E.Y. Reilly

Andy Warhol's "The Philosophy of Andy Warhol" analog collage
14” x 11"
$1000

It begins in the magazines with a psychological association - a knowing that two or more images are connected - without a clear, conscious understanding of exactly how or why. Then, through a playful and subconscious analog manipulation of the images, a story somehow begins to emerge out of the deep psyche and into consciousness. Once the visual portion of the narrative has been completed, I wait for the right text to 'call' to me and to draw me towards the precise passage which serves to render the work and its message complete. A passage will sometimes call from a magazine and at other times from a book such as Carl Jung's "Memories, Dreams, Reflections", St. Teresa of Ávila's "The Life of St. Teresa of Avila." Andy Warhol's "The Philosophy of Andy Warhol" is the text used to complete these works. .
