Painting professor Lindsey\u00a0Dunnagan begins 2019 with a new show in the Twin Cities area (in Silverwood Park<\/a>, Saint Anthony, on the northern side of Minneapolis). Her exhibition, “Skimming Boundaries,” was rooted in her experience with her grandmother, who battled Alzheimer’s Disease for the last ten years of her life.<\/p>\n In her artist’s statement, Professor Dunnagan writes:<\/p>\n A Familiar Face, courtesy of the artist.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n In the beginning, her illness showed in small ways as she repeated stories she told just days before.\u00a0 Toward the middle of the disease, she began reinventing the history of her life. Toward the end, my grandmother didn’t know who I was.\u00a0 She lost the ability to recognize family.\u00a0 Conversations with her became circular as her short-term memory began to fail as well.\u00a0 In the moments when the recognizable parts of her seemed to flicker in and out, I often wondered where she had gone.\u00a0 It seemed as if a part of her was testing the waters of another realm even though her physical body remained vital.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In this series,\u00a0I explore the intangible world of the spirit\u00a0and the boundary that separates us. Religion maps out worlds of before and after death, but even the most secular are confronted these\u00a0questions. What is the journey between life and death? \u00a0Where are the edges?\u00a0\u00a0In this series, I search for what is felt but unseen.<\/em><\/p>\n Blinking Current, courtesy of the artist.<\/p><\/div>\n Much of the work experiments with natural dyes, a technique I learned while serving in Morocco as a Peace Corps Volunteer. \u00a0Vegetation such as raspberries and cabbage are boiled and poured over mordanted paper, resulting in permanent reds, blues, and greens.\u00a0 Rocks and black walnuts provide tones of sepia and simultaneously act as a resist, allowing the places they weigh down in the paper to remain white.\u00a0 Sometimes paper is buried overnight and exposed to the rain or wrapped around trees to capture the imprint of bark.<\/em><\/p>\n The dying process, courtesy of Lindsey Dunnagan.<\/p><\/div>\n Stay tuned for all the exciting events coming up this spring semester at Truman.\u00a0 And Welcome Back!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Truman’s\u00a0Spring 2019 semester begins on Monday.\u00a0\u00a0We are getting about six inches of snow\u00a0before\u00a0classes start, so\u00a0be safe as you come\u00a0back to campus.
