And Perhaps She Will
This painting is part of the 2018 There is Another Sky series. It is based on an Emily Dickinson poem of the same name. The poem suggests “the existence of another mysterious place where the sky, forest and leaves behave differently from the physical universe that we know and see.” In Vanessa Lam’s work, the sky is a recurring theme and suggests the pictorial space as another realm where viewers can enter her work and experience their everyday environment anew.
