In 1980, Dickson and her husband, artist Charlie Ahearn (born 1951), moved into a loft near New York’s then seedy but glittering Times Square, where she had found work two years earlier programming the first Spectacolor billboard. Attracted to the neighborhood’s brilliant nighttime signage, she began working with oil stick against deep black grounds to evoke the gleam of the nocturnal scenes she witnessed. Traveling to Florida in the mid-1980s, Dickson happened one night upon a carnival filled with amusement rides. She eventually worked up this large composition from pictures and sketches, painting the rollercoaster’s arc of blazing lights stretching up into the night.
