ART NEWS = Toward the end of a 3-hour visit one afternoon this past August, Uman stood in a corner of her multiroom studio in Albany, New York, mixing oil paints in a small wooden box. She’d been working for weeks on an eight-foot-square canvas painted with a vibrant red background and a central white orb meant to denote a looming streetlamp. That day, she stepped forward and began adding raspberry globs of paint to the left side of the canvas. “I might cover this up,” Uman said. “That’s sometimes how it goes. You work for weeks and weeks, and then you cover it up and you start again.”
