Williams Sisters Art Print
$450Enjoy this art photography print by local artist and educator, Barbara Tyroler!
Title: Williams Sisters, 5
Series: Greenbelt Pool Series
Dimensions: approximately 35"x22"
Notes: Unmatted and Unframed
This portrait of the Williams Sisters was created in the Greenbelt Aquatic Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, a planned community created by President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Resettlement Administration during the Great Depression. Just a few miles from the nation's capital, Greenbelt was originally racially segregated until 1967 when the City Council voluntarily adopted non-discrimination policies. Many children of color came from generations of African American families who were barred from swimming in public pools. As the grandparents and then parents of many children of color in the south did not have the essential skills in water safety, community pools now offer free swimming lessons for both adults and children to teach them survival skills. This print from the Williams Sisters Collection was created on archival Iris print paper, one of the early digital image-making technologies with the capacity for stable ink absorption. In this series, two sisters in a swimming class contemplate their reflections through plexi mirrors submerged underneath the surface of the water.
Barbara Tyroler is a Chapel Hill artist, educator and photographer. She explores how the photographic image evokes and conveys meaning , creating and recreating stories and memories beyond the frame.
