Corrie Thompson poses landscape as emotional terrain in her exhibition, Interior Survey. She draws imagery from geographic moments in her life to reflect on the public and private aspects of her role as an artist. Her drawings divulge details in terms of value and gesture, yet hide their positions in time, space and memory. Thompson’s practice is a tool to reconcile with the past and to understand her place in the present, often navigating personal issues of loss, belonging, and power. What at first appears to be expansive landscape becomes an impenetrable wall of marks, questioning what is accessible to the audience and what one must navigate in solitude. This exhibit will be held as part of North Park’s 2022 Homecoming Celebration.

The participating artists are: Joel Sheesley, Bethann Moran Handzlik, Katie Cooper, Nik Burkhart, Mark Opirhory and Kathryn Joy Nellis
