Artist Statement: Irene Christensen works intuitively engaging memory and emotions to produce art representing the full range of life from ancient to the present in streams of consciousness. She's known for her Concertina Book series which gathers iconic and symbolic tellings of her cognitive and psychological perception into shaped and narrow drawings.
