In 2001, as a part of the Face of the Artist project, eleven portraits of local artists by Davis Freeman were purchased for the Civic Collection. All the images in this collection were taken in 2000. The subject of this image is Doris Chase a painter, teacher, sculptor of monumental kinetic forms, and a pioneer in creating video art. Her sculptural forms and in this case her nesting modules, usually cut from one block, could be pulled apart into an infinite number of relationships to each other, then restored to the matrix to form a whole block again.
