“Home Sweet Home” (2016) by Linda Ganjian at 111th Street (A) is inspired by the buildings and homes of the Ozone Park/South Richmond Hill neighborhoods. The twenty-four water-jet cut, etched stainless steel panels bring the visual vocabulary of lace to the local domestic architecture. Viewing rows of identical-seeming houses, the artist studied the often-seen, but overlooked decorative details and forms that make each house unique. “Home Sweet Home” honors the builders and craftsmen as much as the residents who enliven and take pride in their homes.
Ganjian is currently a Queens Council on the Arts ArtPort artist in residence and will be hosting a Community Open Studio on Saturday, December 7, 3-5pm, at the Marine Air Terminal Rotunda (Terminal A) at LaGuardia Airport, where you can view works from Ganjian’s “Postcards from Queens” series and also take one home with you!
