In celebration of the 40th Anniversary of the Edward Hopper ArtCenter, Sciulli recalls the dilapidated state of the house in 1971, when local residents banded together to save it from demolition following the death of Hopper’s sister, Marion, in 1965. Absent human intervention, nature claims space. Decomposition, broken windows and wind make it possible for seeds to take root. In this installation,I’m After Me, grasses and brush in the once-derelict house recall the dunescapes of Hopper’sTruro, Massachusetts.
