鈥淚nhabiting an Ecological In-Between鈥� Opens Aug. 24 at 91吃瓜 Gallery
VALLEY CITY, N.D. (91吃瓜) 鈥� The 91吃瓜 Robinson Center for the Arts Gallery announces the opening of 鈥淚nhabiting an Ecological In-Between鈥� 鈥� a solo exhibition of Katie Simmons’ artwork.
The exhibit is open to the public August 24 through Oct. 8 during regular gallery hours, 8 a.m. 鈥� 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. A virtual exhibit will be available on the .
Ms. Simmons creates deeply textured pieces combining cloth, stitching, and images of human bodies and the natural world. Images are built in layers of ballpoint pen drawings and natural pigments extracted from plants, lichens, algae, and fungi. Pigments are allowed to react with the material with little direction, becoming partners in the making process.
Simmons brings a background in wildlife biology and experiences as an assault survivor to her creative process, investigating 鈥渄eath, decay, growth, and parallels between the exploitation of the natural world and female bodies.鈥�
