BS: University of Wisconsin-Madison

CURRENT RESEARCH AND/OR CREATIVE PRACTICE
Walker’s practice operates on vernacular histories of the graphic arts. Her print works and site-specific murals subvert the propagandistic function of nostalgia in contemporary culture, disputing the civilizing influence and assumed moral authority of nation building in North America.
