"Memory of Fire" (1987) — from Betye Saar's 1998 'House of Fortune' installation — is reproduced from 'Serious Moonlight,' the catalog to Saar's recent exhibition at @icamiami In 'House of Fortune,' @betyesaar combines a variety of spiritual and religious traditions that deal with fate and future. She is quoted: "It is not that I’m emulating Haitian Vodou or New Orleans Hoodoo or Chango or Santeria. I just take a little bit from each one. … It’s one planet and how everybody contributes to that through their ethnic origins or their cultural practices."
