BIOGRAPHY
Karin Stack’s primary interests are landscape and the creation of space. From layered and collaged illusory places, to photographs of elaborately staged sets and models, to dark moody etchings of the built environment, she explores the idealized and the falsified. These projects have been exhibited in solo shows at Northfield Mount Hermon School, MCLA’s Gallery 51, and at Williams College Museum of Art.
Another body of work, Hair Stories, which explores hair growth after cancer through chronological photos, voice recording, and flipbook, has been exhibited widely, including at the DeCordova Museum, Wesleyan University, and a natural history museum in France. Hair Stories earned a Mass Cultural Council finalist award and has been featured in the Boston Globe and Public Library of Science Medicine. See CV/resume HAIR.
Stack earned her MFA in printmaking at Colorado State University, and her BA in studio art at Wesleyan. As a visiting professor, she has taught digital art, drawing, and printmaking at Amherst, Wellesley and Mt. Holyoke Colleges. She currently teaches media arts at Mt. Greylock and lives in western Massachusetts.
