High / Line

Jane Harris and Sheila Kaczmarek

The lines that Jane Harris uses in her work meander like streets - pushing and pulling slightly off grid.  The streets and parks of Brooklyn are still her internal map.  Giving street names as the titles of her pieces is a way of naming these actual lines.

In contrast, the inspiration for Sheila Kaczmarek's sculptures were the Jain temples in Ranakptur with their hundreds of pillars each one unique.  Her "towers" attempt to give the impression of the struggle to reach  towards the sky.  The works on paper echo the tower theme.
