January 22 -- May 31, 2009 /description from museum website/ Translated from Italian, "dare alla luce" is an idiomatic expression for giving birth: "to give to the light." Drawing upon late Renaissance artist Jacopo Tintoretto's painting The Origin of the Milky Way for inspiration, Greer recounts her own version of the Roman myth in which the milk of Juno's breast rose to the sky to create the galaxy.

Greer also dicusses how her commonplace materials - "trash, glass and gaudy jewelry" - are transformed within this environment.
