Artist: Rebecca Nagle
“The act of mapping imposes conceptual boundaries on physical space, such as the boarders between countries. I am interested in conceptual boundaries like the distance between history and the present, or a lack of interaction between Baltimore's different neighborhoods. Like the borders between countries, these boundaries greatly affect communities. I seek to cross these boundaries.”
Rebecca Nagle is a senior fiber major from Joplin, Missouri, working in video, new media, performance, and community art. Her work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally and was recently featured at the Conflux Festival in Brooklyn, New York and at the Ssamzie Museum in Seoul, South Korea, where her work remains in a permanent collection. Rebecca was part of the team that designed and produced the 2007 exhibition At Freedom's Door: Challenging Slavery in Maryland at the Maryland Historical Society and the Reginald F. Lewis Museum. Her interactive works engage viewers with issues of intimacy, the body, community, and power dynamics.
