Artists Space

Patricia Caire

January 5 – February 9, 1980

PATRICIA CAIRE'S installation, "Black Light Passages" will occupy the center gallery from January 5 through February 9. The work consists of human scale black silouettes painted on sheets of translucent acetate suspended within the space. The interaction of the separate images, shifting perspectives and flexible changing light contribute to the sensation of a non-specific narrative.
