Lee Krasner's Mural Study for Studio A, 2017 ongoing
acrylic on canvas, ink, gouache

An act of realizing the unrealized, Lee Krasner’s Mural Study for Studio A is a homage to the late artist and her lifelong practice.  After assisting on multiple mural related projects during the WPA era in the 40s, Krasner was given the opportunity to submit studies in anticipation of the creation of her own mural. Before she could actualize her final study, funding was redirected into war efforts, forcing Krasner to abandon her mural. I intend to realize the mural, producing multiple studies of Krasner’s work leading up to the final mural study as well as through gestures of pursuance for installation in New York, in Studio A of WNYC radio station (now the 25th floor of the David N. Dinkins building), the original building in which Krasner had created the mural for.
