Label Text:
Label text from “The Art of Collecting: Contemporary Prints from the Risa Gerrig Collection,” September 10 – October 12, 2014:
Ramirez fluidly manipulates paper in this playful piece celebrating the materiality of the print medium. The bubbly figures swirl together, melt, and drip down the page, pushing the constraints of the space by extending past the edge of the paper. The bright colors used in the background and the solid forms also enhance the playful nature of the piece. The rounded shapes and curling lines resemble abstractions of manifestations in nature like curling vines, raindrops, and bubbling water. - Shelby Miner (B.A. ’15)
