CONFINED

Judy Chicago with Photography and Prints by Donald Woodman

Garden Smoke is a set of 12 prints that document a series of intimate Smoke Sculptures that Chicago created during the pandemic in her backyards in Belen and Albuquerque, New Mexico, which were photographed and printed by Donald Woodman. In the early months of confinement, Chicago thought she would amuse herself by returning to her early days in California when she drove around with friends, placing colored smoke wherever she wished for a series titled Atmospheres.

Through the Flower Art Space, Belen, NM. October 31, 2020 – 2021.
