VERKSTED

Dana Harris Seeger

 

My artwork captures the ephemeral nature of time and memory. As an identical twin and the mother of twins, I am constantly balancing, receding and emerging. As a Baltic American, my family ancestry is ever present in the encaustic paint, ink and paper I use in my artwork. The symbols I use are the language that is a part of me, my heritage and my legacy.
