YOUR GUIDE TO ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT IN DUPAGE COUNTY

There are no recent bookmarks.

What we create illuminates who we are.  I am an artist, lawyer, and historian whose work explores how the margins between things that are separate erode, shift, and change over time. My work examines how cultures define themselves and one another as they encounter one another, a theme I examined through research of Native american and Anglo-European resource use in the Pacific Northwest, Land Divided by Law (Quid Pro Books, 2014) and in a book of fiction, The Illuminatrix (Quid Pro Books, 2012). My deconstructed and reconstructed textiles, ceramics, drawings, and photographs further explore intersections at the edges of surfaces, both created and found.
