REVIEW
NEXT"Delightfully wacky, the young woman
of Susan Webb Tregay's Risk Being Sorry (2011) rides her
bike through a puddle, shooting up curling jets of water. Originally
titled Before the Age of Anxiety, the work uses visual
humor to protest the overly protective lives of children these
days. Tregay remembers her own youth when she and her friends
deliberately ran their bikes over a pot hole covered with water,
thrilling at the unknown: will we hit it or not? She chooses a
wacky, off-beat style to convey the exuberance of a child's daring.
