Curator’s Statement:
Deming Harriman’s work is reminiscent of nineteenth century collages, which were highly influenced by illuminated manuscripts, Renaissance portraiture and Medieval archetypes. Her pieces adapt these classical motifs to the contemporary era and feel very modern and timely in their subject matter, style and emotions which they evoke.
