The Dazzling Margins at NYPL Mulberry Street, Summer 2022
Art Celebrating NYC
I presented new mixed media paintings on canvas, based on the patterns, images and imaginations I have when walking around the city, particularly our Soho/Noho/Village neighborhood, and looking out my window.
This series processed the surreal feeling I had during the pandemic, when I sorely missed the city that I never actually left. So much was suppressed or lost, temporarily and permanently since 2020. And yet the small moments of New York life — the ones you just catch out of the corner of your eye — remained.
My intention with this work was to celebrate those glimpsed moments.
