The theme of the Maud Morgan Arts show was “mapping.” The show did not require an artist’s statement, so I was intrigued and delighted to learn of the center’s interpretation of “Construction Project,” as posted in an article on their website:

 

    “The idea of mapping becomes a source of kinetic energy for Suzanne Stumpf’s ‘Construction Project.’ Small white objects resembling sugar cubes are scattered across a tray. A few cubes rest in the two sets of square indentations on either side of the tray, while others sit on the flat surface in between, and still others wait in a bowl nearby. A long white rectangular stick lies beside the tray—possibly a tool for moving cubes into position or possibly the source of new cubes. The viewer senses that the action of moving and creating cubes—the mapping—is still in progress.”
