Eugenia Reznik: Between the Fabric and the Plant
How does a piece of old cloth connect people to their homeland? Does the answer lie in the plant this fabric used to be? Visual artist Eugenia Reznik creates installation works that question the link between displaced people and plants. In November and December 2023, she will join WSU for a residency with the objective of exploring the threshold between the linen fabric and the flax plant. The artist will collaborate with WSU artists and scientists Andrei Smertenko, Laura Bartley, Squeak Meisel, Reza Safavi, Michael Knoblauk, John Haddish and Elizabeth Nazarov. The residency was generously supported by the Canada Council for the Arts.
