UnBecomimg: An Annotated Exhibition by Elizabeth MacKenzie at Seymour Art Gallery

Opening Reception | Sunday, September 18, 3 – 4:30 pm

Artist (and ECU Sessional Faculty) Elizabeth MacKenzie presents a new series of large-scale, drawing-based digital prints investigating the problematics of self-portraiture, along with two additional installations that annotate her creative process within the development of this work at the Seymour Art Gallery.

Studio visits with a number of artist colleagues, from a variety of backgrounds, are crucial to MacKenzie’s process. These conversations will move into the gallery within a series of three public programs, noted below. This continuing dialogue will be documented within the artist’s blog.
