Artists Quotes:

“For me, space (or ‘to make a place’) is a political act. To draw a line is to divide; to include and to exclude. In my recent work I’m shifting from the idea of line as a limit, and from the act of transgression to the idea of liquid architecture that consists of lines in motion.” -Shirley Shor, Landslide exhibition at the Jewish Museum (link to http://www.thejewishmuseum.org/exhibitions/Landslide)

“My work is about the playful vitality of space and about movement generating spaces. I want to think about space not as a noun but rather as a verb, as an action.” -Shirley Shor on her website
