“Straight from Staten, silk like satin.”

– the Wu Tang Clan

Collage on paper (2018) 10 x 6 in.

Offering a rare self-portrait from the kinetic “Slums of Shaolin” series, the artist takes her cue from the syncopated lyrics of the Wu Tang Clan. Sophisticated in approach, there’s nothing blue-collar in outlook. Digging down deep with New York polish, “Straight from Staten…” combines an urban vibe with urbane flair. Pulsating, this piece gives a nod to Cubism all the while locating its creator in the electric city that births big dreams.
