TENDER GROUND

This collection explores the space between art and archaeology. Depicting scenes and excavation practices the artist has researched, observed, and imagined, the paintbrush becomes a tool for conjuring connections within the archaeological field and uncovering where the artist belongs between these two worlds. Tender Ground records a journey from feeling on the outside to finding a place within archaeology.

Special thanks to the Indianapolis archaeological community, City-County Archives, and Indianapolis Public Library for their support in the research and development of this exhibition.
