SARAH CROWNER

[129]

— I am making a new body of work about painting, geometry and dance. I came across a picture of a dancer called Erick Hawkins performing in Martha Graham’s Stephen Acrobat, from 1947, and decided to make a poster starting with his body over a watercolor ground. Here are three outtakes for the poster, which were not used.
