The first monograph on the architectural sculptor and installation
artist and long-time collaborator with the New York School poets
Best known for creating large-scale installation work inspired by
American vernacular architecture, Dennis finds beauty in places
shaped by ordinary people, which become repositories for memory and
feelings. Her seemingly familiar yet often darkly mysterious sites
evoke memories, encourage reflection, and allude to the transient
nature of life. This book contextualizes Dennis's work within
contemporary art and the women's movements and traces the arc of
her career, tracing the evolution of her architectural sculpture
over more than forty years, exploring her artistic collaborations
with poets, and presenting her most recent work, a series of
gouaches and dioramas, for the first time. A conversation between
Dennis and painter Rackstraw Downes brings to life the artist's
influences through her own words. With insightful text by feminist
art scholar Helaine Posner, plus commentary from Dennis on the
sources and process of creating the work, this book is an essential
addition to the libraries of collectors and art historians
interested in the architectural sculpture movement of the 1970s,
and all those interested in feminism in art.
