Distinguished
Artist-in-

personal
items to compose elaborate,
formal installations reflecting
individual experiences of
dislocation and change. While
participating in the residency
they will be making a large
site-specific installation in
the Libby Leshgold Gallery
as their contribution to the
upcoming group exhibition
entitled
The
Pacific.
