Laurel Garcia Colvin, Beyond a Room of Our Own, 2016, installation
The real heart and soul of the show seems to emanate from Laurel Garcia Colvin's Beyond a Room of Our Own, invoking Virginia Woolf's long essay beseeching society to support women writers. Here the room celebrates great contributors to the arts with 18th-century Rococo-esque blue and white motifs that grace chairs, wallpaper and framed group portraits On the floor you can nestle into a comfy pouf to read several books on feminist subjects scattered at your feet. Colvin said that the books will be donated to White Plains Public Library after the exhibition closes.
