  For 50 year, Nancarrow watched as small tundra ponds outside her window called Deneki Lakes. She tracked the shifting habitat at the lake as the water level dropped over time. Fewer species live there now. 

  Ree will give a talk about her work on Saturday, December 7 at noon in the APK Lecture Hall.

  Ree is one of six artists selected for the Alaska State Museum 2024-2026 Solo Artist Exhibition Series along with Myesha Callahan Freet, Shgendootan George, Ree Nancarrow, Golga Oscar, and Tamara Wilson.

  The Alaska State Museum is pleased to announce Slinkies and the Window Frame, an exhibition by Tamara Wilson featuring studio work and site-specific installation created out of a variety of ingredients including remnant tile, truck bed liner, imitation bubble gum, oak, felt, and expanding foam. The exhibition desires to understand the domestic by pretending and discovering who and what occupies that space. The objects and creatures are created from a place of nostalgia, longing, and cosmic curiosities.

   Wilson is a multimedia artist from and working in Fairbanks, Alaska. She creates artwork influenced by daily life in the beautiful ancestral lands of the Dena people of the lower Tanana River where she has built her home and studio. After receiving a Master of Fine Arts from the University of New Mexico and attending a residency in Estonia, Wilson returned home to Alaska.
