Imagining Ditta

So here we will tell you about Ditta, a poet and photographer. When we painted Ditta we put her in her old house where her bulletin board was a big presence. Ditta sometimes takes photographs of the bulletin board and to us it was such a significant part of her life that we put it in our painting (above).


After we made the painting Ditta moved into a huge converted industrial building in South Philly. When we visited her we brought her bread and salt and took photographs of her (above) and her cat (below).
