Contained, New Works by Wendy Wisch...

Friday, March 28, 2014

These are the first seven images in a series of photographic, video, and sound work by the artist, Wendy Wischer, that explore being trapped or contained in vastness--the vastness of the land, the vastness of the sky, and the vastness of the history of place. The series also explores being "contained" by intangible boundaries, whether they be emotional, cultural, or intellectual.



The creation of these photos was part of a research grant funded through the Young Scholars Grant and Rio Mesa at the University of Utah. There are similar grant opportunities through Rio Mesa for undergraduate and graduate students as well as junior faculty in a wide variety of areas including the arts and creativity.
