There Goes the Neighborhood (original artwork), 10" x 60", acrylic on photograph, 2013

Known as the greenest and most suburban of the NYC Boroughs, Staten Island artist Lisa Dahl playfully paints over four local houses. Using the famous orange of the ferries, the dripping paint refers to the crisis of homes currently “under water” and the destruction caused by natural disasters like Hurricane Sandy. On view 2013-2018.
