Leah Rosenberg's work spans painting, sculpture, installation and pastry exploring the ways color, form, flavor, and arrangements affect human emotion.

For her residency at ISP, Rosenberg painted the gallery a different hue selected from the surrounding Outer Sunset neighborhood for fifty days. Each day she marked off a width of tape to preserve a stripe of the previous days’ color, gradually creating a low relief site-specific striped mural.

Each day’s color was announced by Leah on her instagram account along with its source photo: ‘Mint Graffiti”, “Converse Shoe”, and “Lavender Fog” and others emblematic of the vibrant neighborhood known for being foggy and gray.

The public was also frequently invited to help paint the walls, table, chair and vase in the gallery. Other events included a sunset happy hour, a color walk, a stripe reveal and a talk about the project. In the end, Leah served striped cake and the fifty layers of paint peeled right off the walls with a cake server.

A limited edition poster documenting each day's color highlighted each tone.

“Everyday, a color” went on to be exhibited as “Where Once Was None” at ProArts in Oakland and is included in the exhibition “One Day at a Time” at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMoMA) highlighting the work of Rosenberg and Susan O’Malley.
