Amaryllis from the collection of South Carolina Arts Commission

Amaryllis, 1981

batik, resist-dyed silk

76 x 40 in

Signature: signed on lower right

Game for Three was the result of an empty lot in a slummy section of Charleston. I passed the lot often. In the summer it was hot, dry, and full of weeds and trash. Children played there; they played with total absorption, obliviously squatting in the dirt. The game could have been marbles; it could have been tic-tac-toe or just drawing in the dirt.

Game for Three is not, however, a social statement; it is a statement about any child anywhere, playing any game. Beyond that it is a painting concerned with color, shapes, with positive and negative space. It means whatever the viewers see in it and want it to mean.
