Think On It- Then Lay It Down For Good
Sam Vernon

GALLERY III

March 30 - April 23, 2011

Opening Reception: Thursday, March 31, 2011 6-8 pm

Vernon pays homage to the past and revises the traditional ghost story, addressing questions of postcoloniality, racialization, and historical memory. She employs a complex, ongoing integration of drawings in pen and ink, Xerox-copy technology, collage, and installation. Her work is a formal and ideological exploration into polar opposition. By means of the machine, text-inspired images are construed into rich black lines against white pages. She interprets such themes as violence, cultural exile, detachment, womanhood, sexuality, and the psychology of blackness.
