Item details

Tommy and the Ball is a creative painting done by Isca Greenfield-Sanders. It is displayed on a wall in Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center. This artist makes images of refracted light and subjects just out of reach. She is not afraid of combining beauty with a sense of the ominous that may be just outside the viewer’s frame. Her images come from discarded family photographs and slides that she purchases secondhand.

“Isca Greenfield-Sanders (b. 1978, New York, NY) is an American mixed media landscape painter known for her oil paintings and watercolors, based on found photography. Beginning with vintage slides, Greenfield-Sanders breaks down photographic images, and rebuilds them as her own. Putting the image through various incarnations, she grids and paints small fragments, reconstituting the “details” to a whole in a manner similar to memory’s construction. The vague familiarity of her anonymous landscapes re-enforces her exploration of remembrance as manifested through a complex working method.

Isca Greenfield-Sanders was born in New York City’s East Village, where she currently lives and works. She graduated from Brown University with honors, completing a double major in Fine Arts and Mathematics.

Her work is included in the permanent collections of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; Brooklyn Museum, New York; Museum of Fine Arts Houston, Houston; The Victoria and Albert Museum, London; and the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco, San Francisco, among others.”
