About the artist:

Deborah Cornell is an American artist concerned with changes in the environmental and how these affect our everyday life.

During her production residency she will work on her project Acqua Alta using photographs of trips made to India and the North Atlantic and Pacific Ocean.

Cornell develops an exquisite technical refinement in her work, for which she had to investigate the photopolymer technique, which allowed her to reflect the subtleties characteristic of her work. A set of small-format prints will make up the installation which will be exhibited in the Polyglot Room.

The work will be accompanied by a musical piece produced by the musician and composer Richard Cornell upon completion of his residency.

Currently she is Associate Professor and Director of the Graphics Department at the School of Visual Arts at the School of Fine Arts at Boston University, Massachusetts, USA.
