State Names
Practitioner:
Jaune Quick-to-See Smith
Date:
Jan 1 2000
"State Names" is a painting by Jaune Quick-To-See Smith. You immediately recognize the outline of the United States, but at the same time, that map is obscured and made difficult to read. It’s at once recognizable and not recognizable. She describes her use of icons as a ploy, as something that brings the viewer closer, and they think they know what they’re going to see.
