We also recognize the generous support of the Contemporary Collectors – Orange County
who have funded this publication which includes a thoughtful essay by Barbara Thompson
entitled “Still Defined” and three poems by noted poet Harryette Mullen. Lastly, we want
to thank Sunny War for bringing her music to this project and Sarah Lewis for joining us
out west to share in a dynamic conversation with the artist and Otis community as part of
our public programming.
Saar’s work echoes an entirely American process of spiritual and political bifurcation,
and the evolution of historical recovery. As Lowry Stokes Sims, Curator at the Museum of
Arts and Design, wrote, “Alison Saar’s library of references is as varied and rich as
her own heritage. Her special gift lies in her ability to translate the personal and the
culturally specific in such a way that it embodies concerns that not only transcend race
but also gender.”*
