Dear Christina and to all of you,
I am responding quickly for now but will respond in depth more later
tonight.
First forgive me for not updating your short bio which I copy below.
Thank you so much for sharing your drawings and it is so wonderful for you
to join us again. Is there handmade paper that I see? How amazingly lush they
are-- especially in light of the fact that most of us have been sitting in
front of our screens and ZOOM these past few weeks. Please share more about
the making of these amazingly sensuous pieces.
I post the link you shared

I also have a series of very large drawings that I am attempting to work on
between my screened sentence of late. I am curious to hear what other -empyre-
subscribers are doing with their down time away from technological screen. The
lyrical poems you share take me away to such a different zone than this one I
write in this afternoon. We all need a place of centeredness. That sounds
rather cliché but I feel that it is more important than ever right now.
Updated Biography:
Christina McPhee is a North American mid-career visual artist of European
descent, working in drawing, painting, and electronic media. Her map-like,
contingent, topologic works, through low relief and tesselated forms, reflect
on shapeshifting, intersubjectivity, and ecologies. Solo museum exhibitions
include American University Museum in Washington, DC and Bildmuseet, Umeå,
Sweden. Internationally, she has shown in museum exhibitions at MAMM
(Colombia), Bildmuseet, and Thresholds Perth (Scotland); as well as documenta
12 and Bucharest Biennial 3. American museum collections of her work include
the ICP and Whitney Museum of American Art, Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art,
and the Sheldon Museum. She received the MAP award for performance in 2012 with
Pamela Z for their collaborative intermedia work, Carbon Song Cycle. Born in
Los Angeles, she lives and works in southern California. (Pronouns: she/her)
