The Artist and Her Work




Project Row Houses - Susan. The theme was (is) "Race and Class". The houses are not vertical and thus, the exact feel I wanted to maintain as that is how it is viewed when entering. She graciously went to the corner so her shadow and image would merge with the image of the art piece. These are her words:

. . . surrounded by beautiful Fichus trees partially painted white - the paint on the trees shifted the perspective for me. The trees became a metaphor for paradox, duality, bi-culturalism, borders, liminal states, self/other, and racial demarcation. They looked humanlike to me, with a gentleness and tolerance and capacity to "hold" or contain diversity, paradox and duality.
