From March 7 through April 24, 2022, Intermission Museum of Art (IMA) presented the online exhibition matter/of/fact, featuring the collaborative work of Deanna Lee and Kirsten Nash. The entire exhibition is archived and can be viewed at: https://intermissionmuseum.org/volume-ii/matter-of-fact/.

matter-of-fact explores the intersection of the collaborators’ individual studio practices through the concept of collage. This method of working offered Lee and Nash the opportunity to play with and navigate the potential of digital video as a way to bring together expressions of their respective and overlapping interests and ideas. The resulting experimental encounters and gestures manifest a conversation, and the works embody a practice of interactions and contributions that bring together bits and pieces: elements, views, influences, inspirations, and interpretations, of the surrounding landscape and of direct and mediated experiences of the material and immaterial world.

I am very pleased that my work is included in the IRL version of the online exhibition “Streaming,” on view through July 10, 2021, at Stand4, in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn.

ArtSpiel features an informative interview with Melissa Staiger, a co-curator of the exhibition.

This initiative helps to support artists affiliated with the Lake George Arts Project, where I exhibited my work in 2011 and 2019.

Artworks can be viewed and purchased from either the digital catalog or the online store:

During the summer of 2020, the Re Institute in Millerton, New York, opened a wonderful outdoor exhibition of artworks, each installed in the ground and viewable in the dark. I am very happy that my work is a part of it.

My short essay, “Interpreting natural structures and systems through visual traces,” about the relationship of math to my art, was published in a special edition of the Journal of Mathematics and the Arts, available for free online through 2020.

Recently I was interviewed by Art Spiel for part of its series, “Artists on Coping.” Along with some images of recent works, the piece gives a snapshot of what I’ve been thinking and feeling since COVID-19 transformed the world and all of our lives.
