Darice Polo’s Through a Glass, Darkly is more than photos of a family vacation in the ’50s. It’s an exploration into American society.
Details:
The paintings and drawings in Through a Glass, Darkly refer to 8mm film stills of a family outing to the Statue of Liberty in 1958. The translation of these images into paintings and drawings seizes poetic movements of form that depict a transitory past and an extended narrative of time. In this work the artist examines her cultural heritage through the filter of American society and asks us to re-examine the Statue of Liberty as an icon of the 21st century.
