Artist: Amanda Greene

Project: Humid and Tiresome

Description: In Amanda Greene’s series, Humid and Tiresome, the artist delights in finding surprising objects in unexpected places. Taxidermied animals lounge above a grocery store cooler of cold-cuts. A hand-lettered sign advertises watermelons along a frost-covered median. While some of her images are accented with bold textures and tones—shiny balloons, unnaturally bright flower arrangements—others are characterized by a more subtle monochrome; together, they create what Greene calls a “celebration of color” meant “to tell a story about a place and the relationship it has with its residents.”
