Quietly and modestly with very little fanfare, Forer works at home creating small wall relief tableaus. Her art is deeply personal, made up of memories and stories connected to each piece, yet thought personal she translates these events into the subjects that have a universal in appeal and understanding since they use the language of architecture as their core.
