Untitled (#3, suite of 6), 2001

Sally Schuh
(American, born 1959)

Location: Raymond Junior-Senior High School, Raymond

ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This print is part of artist Sally Schuh's conceptual series that combines disjointed images and text to create new stories. This artwork uses images and text from a collection of Polaroid photos and index cards that were originally used for a dating service in the 1960s and 1970s. She notes, “While I am curious about the meaning found in the original material, I am more compelled to construct new meaning that has grown out of the loss and retrieval of missing and altered information.”

This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Raymond School District.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

She explores “visual interpretations of written and spoken language.” Her art reveals differences between reading and looking, and writing and speaking. She is influenced by minimalist and conceptual art.
Schuh received a sculpture degree from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and a printmaking degree from the University of Washington in Seattle.
