All works by this person →> Although my work outwardly seems to vary over many years, there are certain links running through all of it. I consistently want to make things that satisfy my sense of beauty. I respond to the tactile nature of things. Another element that pervades it is tension or anxiety. These elements always live within me and are present in all my art. > > --Jo Ann Callis Since she emerged in the late 1970

Callis made a small bed from clay and then photographed it in a miniature room. The bed is chartreuse, the floor is hot pink with polka-dots, and the walls are also chartreuse. The photograph is matted in a pink and white knit fabric that coordinates with the bedroom's decorative scheme.
