She explores her own experience of global events, personal relationships, and physical surroundings through the creation of images that vibrate with subjectivity. Expansive sweeps, overlapping angles and delicate investigation of form occupy Maxon's compositions. In L'Ombre de Mon Ombre (Shadow of My Shadow), all this activity converges in a central density that seems to rest precariously between unraveling and regenerating. Maxon writes I suspect my work appears as evidence of a life that is quite chaotic. There is obsessive repetition and faltering but decisive gesture. There are mistakes, miss-turns, and silliness. The pieces are filled with refusals, anger, humility, and insistence on shapes. (2006) Maxon’s work is included in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Brooklyn Museum, and The Museum of Modern Art (New York).
