REVIEW
"Delightfully wacky, the young woman of Susan Webb Tregay's Risk Being Sorry (2011)
rides her bike through a puddle, shooting up curling jets of water.
Originally titled Before the Age of Anxiety, the work uses visual humor
to protest the overly protective lives of children these days.
Tregay remembers her own youth when she and her friends deliberately ran their bikes
over a pot hole covered with water, thrilling at the unknown:
will we hit it or not? She chooses a wacky, off-beat style to convey the exuberance of a child's daring.
