Description: “Flora Natapoff, known for her large collages of urban and industrial motifs, due to MS begins to work on a smaller scale that is no less powerful. She speaks of her way of looking, the impact of landscape, and a new sense of narrative and composition. A legendary teacher at Harvard, her compelling account introduces us to her highly original work.”
