Sherry Markovitz: Shimmer Paintings and Sculptures, 1979-2006
September 25-December 13, 2008
"Markovitz's recent works are ethereal combinations of drawing and painting that float like apparitions on gossamer white silk, barely attached to the sudion walls, swaying ever so slightly, as if touched by a summer wind. The images they carry seem to emanate at times from sweet memories of childhood companions and at other times, less than sweet, from encounters with loss."
Her sculptures are more deliberate. "Resplendently clothed in their beaded coats, (they) are, by the very process they undergo, more measured, more meditative, more thoroughly considered."
--Josine Ianco Starrels, SMA curator
