Molly Gochman

Gochman’s welcome, installed in the Lelong Drive esplanade leading to the New Orleans Museum of Art, greeted thousands of visitors to The Voodoo Experience 2009. welcome is a series of raised, grass covered mounds spelling out the word “welcome” in Braille. At 104 feet long, welcome is a large work. Reminiscent of Peru’s Nazca lines, whose patterns are discernible only from the air, the size of the Braille pattern in welcome transforms a single word into an environment – a space that viewers can explore and enjoy.
