Summary:

"About the exhibition: Rose B. Simpson (b. 1983) has envisioned a site-specific project for the Cleveland Museum of Art's Ames Family Atrium titled Strata. Simpson's installation was commissioned specifically for the expansive, light-filled space. According to the artist, Strata is inspired by time spent in Cleveland, "the architecture of the museum, the possibility of the space, tumbled stones from the shores of Lake Erie," as well as her own Indigenous heritage and the landscape of her ancestral homelands of Santa Clara Pueblo, New Mexico, where she was born and raised and where she lives and works. Strata comprises two monumental figural sculptures constructed from the artist's signature clay medium, in addition to metalwork, porous concrete, and cast bronze. The figures' layers mimic rock eroded through geologic time and the structural materiality of man-made architecture. Intricate welded metal structures mounted to the heads of each figure, intended to cast shadows, mimic the structures of the mind in relationship to time and space"--Cleveland Museum of Art website.
