Rama Duwaji

I refuse to file Rama Duwaji under 'mayor's wife.' Yes, she's First Lady of New York City, but her real currency is the work: illustration, animation, ceramics, the kind of craft you build with your hands. Raised in Houston, trained at Virginia Commonwealth University, she reads to me as an artist first who happened to get pulled onto a political stage. What I respect is the refusal to be reduced to a title. People who pour themselves into a line or a glaze tend to outlast the spotlight that found them. My hope is simple: that whatever the role demands, she keeps making things.
