Rose B. Simpson: Strata Tour

Rose B. Simpson (b. 1983) envisioned a site-specific project for the Cleveland Museum of Art’s Ames Family Atrium. Titled Strata, Simpson’s installation was commissioned specifically for the expansive, light-filled space. According to the artist, Strata is inspired by time spent in Cleveland, “the architecture of the museum, the possibility of the space, tumbled stones from the shores of Lake Erie,” as well as her own Indigenous heritage and the landscape of her ancestral homelands of Santa Clara Pueblo, New Mexico, where she was born and raised and where she lives and works.

Join curator Nadiah Rivera Fellah as she discusses the monumental sculptures on site, exploring the relationship between self, time, and place.
