ALL THE THINGS YOU ARE, a mural
sized installation consisting of 55 encaustic painted panels gathered
together, cohering, and united through affinities of pattern, color,
shape, and subject. Each abstract section of this
work has been inspired by a variety of sources: game boards;
Aboriginal dream painting; the African-American quilts of Gees
Bend; labyrinths; and butterfly designs. These combinations
of traditions, cultures, and influences find individual expression
in this encyclopedic work. Commissioned by the Percent For
Art Program of the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs,
the Queens Borough Public Library, and the Department of Design
and Construction. |
