Stations of the Cross

If our contemporary experience of the world is a photographically mediated one, Lisa Ruyter denies the visual and emotional depth of that experience in her foreshortened, brightly colored paintings. Taking the 14 traditional Christian Stations of the Cross as an organizational motif, Ruyter pairs a specially commissioned narrative text with her hand-drawn reproductions of news photographs to present a post-9/11 world that she is trying to both understand and rebuke.Ruyter, Lisa is the author of 'Stations of the Cross', published 2003 under ISBN 9783883755991 and ISBN 3883755990.
