Nancy Lu Rosenheim: Driftless: Can’t See the Forest for the Trees

@ Northeastern Illinois University Fine Arts Gallery

5500 N. St. Louis Avenue, Chicago IL

Opening Friday, February 20th, at 6PM

On view through Friday, March 13th

Rosenheim’s work projects the viewer into a world where the beauty of nature collides with the feeling that something has gone awry. In an essay for the exhibition, Alex Jovanovich describes her work as:

“…effigies of nature-cruel yet thoughtfully conceived artworks based on an irrevocably damaged environment that is irritated and out for revenge. But please: don’t take her for some mordant doomsayer. She’s just calling it like she feels it, channeling the spirits of our fraught and contaminated time, like a good artist should, and creating a family of weird and tenderly wrought things that are rich, disturbing and lovely.”
