Trained as a painter, artist Jo Sandman went on to create experimental drawings, sculpture, and photography during a career that spanned seven decades. Working with dropcloths acquired from “crusty old house painters who had crusty old tarps,” she created what she called drawings or glyphs-perhaps recalling time she spent at Black Mountain College near Asheville. These stained and splattered dropcloths demonstrate her embrace of unconventional materials and desire to explore abstract shapes to express her concept of a poetically visual language. Below is from the Weatherspoon collection.
