Joyce Lyon
Remains of the Razed Hotel, Lake Huntington, NY II 1991
Oil stick on paper
The dialogue in the work involves both image and text. Some of the drawings
are about places in Poland-the endless fields of barrack chimneys I saw that Birkenau, a mass grave in the woods
near Rzeszow. Other drawings are about places I know more intimately. These drawings become meditations
on experiences I do not-and can not-know at first hand. Place becomes a vehicle for the exploration of many
kinds of knowing: one's own direct experience and its limitations, what can be intuited, what it is possible
to learn at a distance, and what, finally, cannot be understood. -Lyon
