In difference to Daniel T. Braun, who traces fire by exploding rockets (”Rocketogrames”) through light directly on photographic colorpaper, Rosemarie Fiore is drawing with fireworks on paper. Her brushes are explosives like smoke bombs and magic whips, her colors are the particles of the smoke and the sparcling of the fire. “She then collages the best effects onto large sheets of the same paper-creating works, that are like op art visions of the cosmos.” [Robert Shuster]. The performative chance of the color application is guided to the finding.
