Associated Names

Joan Cassis

Artist, American, 1952 - 1996

This is an image of a metal-framed bed in a sparsely decorated room. A window with thin curtains is at the head of the bed. The bed has a simple cotton sheet on it. There is a blurry object on the bed. A piece of furniture or shelf with folded clothes is on the right. Light comes in through the window, creating soft shadows. The room gives off a feeling of quietness and seclusion.
