Recently on the subway, a woman psychic told the artist; "I see many good things around you, call me" and handed deVries her card. Grateful and wondrous at her kind words, deVries has translated the experience into "Beautiful Things" a new neon work for the windows at Hugo Boss.

Aglow in neon and written in the artist's 7 year old son's hand, "Beautiful Things" crystallizes the moment when language, meaning and experience coalesce. The artist invites you to participate in the piece and to photograph yourself and loved ones standing within "Beautiful Things". She would like to remind us that photography is writing with light. deVries' other neon work "Our Infinite Capacity For Love" was last seen at her 2010 solo exhibition "An Enlarged Heart" at MIYAKO YOSHINAGA.

Erika deVries is a mother, artist, lady in love, professor, fairy tale teller/reader/believer, thread thief, and mundanity expert.
