Donna Dennis : poet in three dimensions

The first monograph on the architectural sculptor and installation artist and long-time collaborator with the NY School poets.Best known for creating large-scale installation work inspired by American vernacular architecture, Dennis finds beauty in sites shaped by ordinary people, which become repositories for memory and feelings. This book contextualizes Dennis's work within contemporary art and the women's movements and examines sculptural installations and public-art projects that represent points of passage on a symbolic life journey. A conversation between Dennis and painter Rackstraw Downes brings to life the artist's influences.
