Really Free: The Radical Art of Nellie Mae Rowe

 

Nellie Mae Rowe’s Yard

A black and white photograph of the front of Nellie Mae Rowe's house depicts the variety of objects decorating her front yard. A large doll's head wearing a straw hat and a striped dickie stands atop an ornament-covered wire in front of the house. Below it, a wooden rail is covered with a collection of objects including a toy car, a ceramic bird, building blocks, and a dog made of pieces of plastic. Many more objects hang from tree branches and wires in front of the house.
