In a performance piece created multiple times throughout the exhibition, Snyder throws herself to the pavement. This gesture, despite its somewhat casual quality, always succeeds in making a powerful visual impression.
The fluid form of the artist’s body plays dramatically against the rigid modernist grid. Defying the deadly uniformity of these concrete squares, Snyder brings life to the barren sidewalks, ultimately creating images of healing and hope.

I would like it if she broke the grid more.
well, she's working on a long-term project she calls "growth piece", and she anticipates that this will bring even greater variety to "grid action" in the future. . .
