    A Spotlight Exhibition featuring the Center for Emerging Visual Artists Fellows: Maria Anasazi, Leslie Atik, and Diane Savona. Transforming archival materials such as books and microfiche, Maria Anasazi’s work deals with issues of personal and collective loss through sculpture, installation, video, and performance. Leslie Atik considers the metaphors common to language and textiles in her installation works. Drawing on a variety of written sources, Atik creates a chalkboard on which the marks of the chalk, tags, threads, and map pins reveal the inherent elegance of the grammatical patterns that are integral to the meaning of the selected texts. Diane Savona embeds domestic objects between layers of cloth to form fossil-like impressions, which can be read as hieroglyphic symbols. Combined with apron images, Savona’s stitched markings suggest cultural maps. Image credit: Maria Anasazi, 2010
