About the artwork.
Attributing an interest in architectural forms to early influences, Racine native Frances Myers created prints that often used space, geography, and form as subject. Not bound to only those themes, however, Myers would experiment with new graphic processes, collage elements, social and cultural issues, and installations. This print featuring the SC Johnson corporate headquarters in Racine (titled with a company nickname) is from a series dedicated to exploring Frank Lloyd Wright buildings.
