Over My Shoulder

Poet Leslie Scalapino’s unique voice offers a compelling lesson for emerging women artists. Her writing, described as "humid," masterfully blends sensory experience with stark observation, creating immersive "montages" of everyday life and visceral themes. This approach encourages artists to fearlessly develop their own distinctive style, exploring complex subjects and experimental structures without hesitation. Scalapino exemplifies how a bold, personal vision can transform raw observations into art that is both deeply evocative and universally impactful, crafting powerful "climates" from light, shadow, and human experience. — Source: SFMOMA Open Space
