Homesick
by Amy Bautz
Exhibition Dates: Sept 2023 through Sept 2024
Location: Post-Security, near gates E34 and 36
This series of paintings are based on locations in the artist’s hometown of St. Louis. They are meditations on place, longing, homesickness, nostalgia, and time-sickness. Instead of a title, each piece is identified by its closest street.
