Hermine Ford

Stranded - 2011

STUDIO Artists Community member and painter, Hermine Ford, is currently on view at the STOREFRONT in Bushwick. We learn in Sharon L. Butler's interview that Ford and her husband, Robert Moskowitz, also a painter, "shaken by 9/11. . .left their Tribeca loft for a four-month residency at the American Academy in Rome. Wandering the ancient streets, Ford found Rome's historical resilience consoling. Here was a city, she thought, that had been destroyed countless times and yet had always been rebuilt. Fascinated with the mosaics and patterns cobbled together over centuries from the marble rubble, Ford began drawing and collecting images that have fueled her paintings. She returns to Rome each year to gather more material." Ford's exhibition at the STOREFRONT will be on view until May 29.
