Description
[edit]Sunday Morning is a 2013 mixed media collage by artist India Cruse-Griffin, which depicts a row of warmly-colored buildings along a city street. The work, which measures 41.25" x 28.25", framed, is made from collaged paper gathered from magazines, upon which Cruse-Griffin then paints, often allowing the underlying magazine paper to show through.[1][2] While her subjects are often clear and straightforward, this collage technique serves as a reminder of the accumulation of lived experience.[1][2]
Historical information
[edit]Acquisition
[edit]Sunday Morning was commissioned by Eskenazi Health as part of a re-imagining of the organization's historical art collection and to support "the sense of optimism, vitality and energy" of its new campus in 2013.[3][4] In response to its nationwide request for proposals, Eskenazi Health received more than 500 submissions from 39 states, which were then narrowed to 54 finalists by an independent jury.[4] Each of the 54 proposals was assigned an area of the new hospital by Eskenazi Health's art committee and publicly displayed in the existing Wishard Hospital and online for public comment; more than 3,000 public comments on the final proposals were collected and analyzed in the final selection.[4][5] Sunday Morning is credited "in honor of Greg Kelleher, Lisa E. Harris, M.D."
Location
[edit]Sunday Morning is currently displayed in the Robert & Gina Laikin Surgery Registration & Waiting Room on the third floor of Sidney & Lois Eskenazi Hospital.
