Prairie PoeticsKatie B. H. Wolff & Anne Skaug
05.31.24 - 08.24.24 Inez + Milton Shaver Gallery Prairie Poetics centers around the artists’, Katie Beatta Hovden Wolff and Anne Skaug, uncannily similar origin stories that they discovered after meeting in 2019 at Black Hills State University (BHSU). Each of these artists have one parent from Hettinger, ND and one parent from Bergen, Norway. Both suffered the loss of their American born parent in childhood or adolescence. Together, with their mirrored origin stories, Katie and Anne sought to materially translate a glimpse into the interconnectedness of person, familial, cultural and historical lineages within a singular landscape situated along the most western border of North and South Dakota. The artists collaborated during their studies at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) to create this show. This exhibition uses photography, poetry, material symbology and personally sourced objects to challenge and invite the viewers into a space where time evaporates, images become windows, and objects stand in for bodies. |
