The Dwarves Without Snow White, 1992, Synthetic Crushed velvet, Dye & Cardboard Boxes Each box 27 x 16 x 3" |
Blossom, 2000, Synthetic Velvet & Dye, 18' diameter,
Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia
Fabric, dye, clay and other bright colors sit casually on gallery floors. Breaking the limits between painting and installation “fallen paintings” sit on the floor inviting viewers to play.
Gallery space transforms into play areas, reminiscent of childhood toys on the floor.
The seven Dwarves line up in whimsical costumes, no two alike, but similar enough to declare their unity . The random, uneven blotches fall onto the boxes in messy, childlike, disarray. Arrangement in a vertical line strengthens the piece.
Petals dance out from center of Blossom in wildly changing colors. They circle around and around, gently spreading and growing from the golden center. Circular lines unify the scattered colors.
