Lisa Lofgren’s print exhibit “what is was” is on display in the James S. Murray Gallery through March 7. The public is invited to view the exhibit weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and attend a reception on Tuesday, March 5 from 5:30-7:30 p.m.
Lofgren’s work is informed by her role as a mother of a two-year-old and how it has affected her studio practice. She describes it as once deeply contemplative, but now fractured by the unstructured play required in raising a young child.
“The solution I have found to this conflict is the ability to work back into works started six, eight, 10 years ago and find resolution in entirely different ways than I would have discovered then,” explains Lofgren. “I am in conversation with a collection of old friends, unified by my present voice and embracing intuitive play.”
Lofgren is a printmaker, educator and founder of the community printmaking and papermaking facility Together Press in coordination with cometogetherstudios in Bloomington. She is the registrar and office coordinator for University Galleries of Illinois State University and an adjunct instructor at Heartland Community College. She earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Wyoming and a master’s degree from Illinois State University.
