ALICE WINGWALL (web site)

Alice Wingwall, a photographer, sculptor, painter, and public artist, has completed her residency. Wingwall strove to remove her work from the usual context of a framed photograph hanging in a gallery. This resulted in her project, Overdog Mango, a collaboration with artist Walter Kitundu, in which restless video images transformed into constellations of braille and moved over walls, through a sculptural and sonic installation.
