FROM OUR BLOG / Nasher Museum student intern Sarah Filter writes, "When I first saw Anita Dube’s work of art River/Disease, I felt watched. This work of art is indeed eye-catching. From the distance it looks like a leafless tree, knaggy branch or a delicate hand skeleton. But upon closer examination you immediately see that it contains hundreds of ceramic eyes in different shapes, directly looking at you." Read more.
