create a series of land portraits: graphite drawings that convey a narrative

of the land. I want to produce drawings that record the history of

landmarks and sacred spaces based on traditional legends, government

treaties, current disputes, and future visions. These land portraits will

create continuity where great changes have occurred in the landscape or

are likely to occur in the future. I hope that the Mesabi Iron Range and its

story can become part of the public consciousness in a way that influences

the future of Minnesota’s landscape.

traditionally feminine elements (dramatic makeup and fishnet hose) with

elements of a contact sport (protective gear, aggressive maneuvering, and

visibly painful falls). The sport empowers women, creates a sense of

sisterhood among teammates, and rallies the community around these

women who are themselves part of the community.

scratching and yellowing. Glass is susceptible to breakage and is heavy.

Museum acrylic has been developed to be non-reflective, non-yellowing,

and scratch resistant in addition to the qualities of being lightweight and

break resistant.
