![Featured in Ogden Museum’s current exhibition, “Entwined: Ritual Wrapping and Binding in Contemporary Southern Art,” is “Re-seeking Horizons” by Elizabeth Shannon.
Elizabeth Shannon is a mixed-media and installation artist who has been active in the New Orleans art dialogue for over 50 years. Born in 1948 in Morgan City, Louisiana, Shannon grew up on the Atchafalaya River. Her work often addresses the codependent relationship between local industry and the ecosystem. Much of her practice engages the medium of assemblage and installation utilizing found objects to comment on social, ecological, political and philosophical concerns.
Explore Shannon’s work in the exhibition “Entwined,” on view through February 28!
