Stations of the Cross

lisa ruyter jack miles stefanie schaeffler

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.
