High and low cultural references abound in a layering of graffiti and street art--the perfect analog of a layered quilt. A celebration of the often chaotic, always energetic urban environment, with a few shout-outs specific to NYC. I've taken some artistic liberties to skew towards the theme of eyes and sight, e.g., The Met's 1992 Magritte poster used a different painting; and, had a punk rock group named The Styes existed back in the day, it surely would have performed at the Mudd Club. The second quilt in a series on the five senses, begun way back in 1994 with "Hear the Difference."
