“Blue” BOOM! (2010)

The Walker was the first art museum I actually explored. When I stepped inside–BOOM!–Yves Klein’s blue hit me. Yves Klein: With the Void, Full Powers was the first exhibition to grab me so wholly. Klein’s work was so fluid, so consistent; his identity was defined right there on the walls. Like Violet from the Willy Wonka film, I felt myself turning blue at the edges.
