LIFTED: Public Housing, An Aerial Perspective

In December 2019 Sean Desiree organized a show/fundraiser in Hudson, NY, entitled LIFTED: Public Housing, an Aerial Perspective. It was a collection of seven two-dimensional works depicting aerial views of seven public housing units in Hudson. The title holds dual meaning, referencing the series’ intent to support residents of public housing through both a grant and the creation and celebration of work that reflects the inherent beauty in the units. It also refers to the literal and metaphorical perspective shift involved in portraying the buildings from an aerial view. Part of the profits raised from the sale of the work will be given as a grant to a local resident artist/crafter living in Hudson public housing.
