Street Stuff BUMP
Consisting of six realistic porcelain street signs installed on steel stands, the exhibition is on view in the Betty Warren Herzog Gallery of The Yager Muesum of Art & Culture.
“Street Stuff Series: Street Stuff BUMP” represents a reflection by the artist to her travels around the world and a visual response to “street stuff” such as road signs she has encountered along the way. Collectively, the road signs in this installation serve as a universal metaphor for the “curves and bumps” encountered and overcome in one’s journey through life.
