Exhibition Description

Suzanne Harris constructed two floor-to-ceiling sculptures form overlapping cardboard pieces taken from boxes and attached to a framework. One sculpture had its base down while the other was inverted, with its tip resting on the floor. These were placed toward the rear, one on either side of the space; together they occupied nearly its full width. Together they were titled Mem.
