REDEFINING REALITY: CLEVELAND ARTS PRIZE WINNERS CORRIE SLAWSON AND LAUREN YEAGER
“Taken as a group, with their swift kaleidoscopic patterns, and the twists and gyres of history mixed with memory and fear, Slawson has made narrative tapestries for the Apocalypse. Using a tonal range from newspaper-like black and white, through saturated reds and yellows, pinks and greens, calmer stretches of taupe and glorious shimmers of gold, they seem spangled with wealth as well as poverty, and hard, bright sunlight, even when Slawson stencils a cluster of stars. Animals, houses, and people are stirred into the mix, draped in geometric patterns or threatened by inky, off-black storm clouds.” - Douglas Max Utter
