Stephanie Ann Johnson














Binding Ties
















We Speak

















The Intersection

Stephanie Ann Johnson is an amazing light designer and installation artist. Stephanie is based in Berkeley, California and her site specific works deal with local, as well as, national issues in the Black experience. Okay, details aside, her work is mind-blowing. In works like, The Intersection, created for San Francisco's Intersection for the Arts, a surveillance camera is used to record your image (the viewer) and projects it into the artwork. This is what art should be about-- not just something beautiful and separate that you ponder, but something that involves you, really engages you, and brings some kind of a transformative experience. Stephanie has found a way to blend her day job with her art making-- talk about living artfully!
Again, watch out for this lady-- she's going to be exploding onto the scene.....

I love your perspective! Sheerly, this blog is setting light on African Awareness on so many levels. I just keep thinking of the church song, "This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine!
