Fast Favorites: No Place Like Home

Hear from docent Jayne Beline about her favorite paintings, sculptures, and photographs that all connect to the idea of “home.”

A color photograph of a young light skinned girl with light blonde hair. The girl peeks out from a fort made from a dark blue and purple comforter. A light pink and purple stuffed unicorn sits on a purple and white floral rug in front of the fort. A purple, blue, white, and black paper butterfly-shaped kite hangs on the wall above the fort. — Angela Strassheim, *Untitled (Fort)*, 2006; Chromogenic color print, 40 x 50 in.; National Museum of Women in the Arts, Gift of Heather and Tony Podesta Collection; © Angela Strassheim; Photo by Lee Stalsworth
