Printmaker Eva Isaksen will present the next lecture on Wednesday, Oct. 11 at 5:30 p.m. in Richards Hall Rm. 15. Isaksen’s lecture is free and open to the public.
Isaksen was born and raised north of the Arctic Circle in Bodø, Norway. She moved to Seattle after earning her MFA in painting from Montana State University. Isaksen’s work is inspired by the landscape in her native Norway and in the U.S. Northwest.
She works with printmaking and collage, using thin handmade papers from Nepal that she mono prints using pressed plants, seeds, yarns, fabric and stencils creating complex and multi-layered compositions to investigate nuances in nature. Her work contains organic forms and represents cycles, seasons, land, water, order, rhythm, growth, life and regeneration.
The University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s School of Art, Art History & Design’s Hixson-Lied Visiting Artist & Scholar Lecture Series brings notable artists, scholars and designers to Nebraska each semester to enhance the education of students.
