Ordinary Things Will Be Signs for Us

Corita Kent: The Sorcery of Images, at the Marciano Art Foundation

“I think that I am always collecting in a way—walking down a street with my eyes open, looking through a magazine, viewing a movie, visiting a museum, or grocery store. Some of the things I collect are tangible and mount into piles and many layers, and when the time comes to use saved images, I dig like an archaeologist through my lists and all the piles that have accumulated, and sometimes I find what I want and sometimes I don’t.”

—Corita Kent, Learning by Heart (1984)
