Biography

Kristen Tordella-Williams is an associate professor of art at Millsaps College in Jackson, MS. She has shown nationally and internationally, most recently at a castle and monastery in Salem, Germany. Kristen's interests lie in the layers of the impressions left by our bodies on the environment around us and the reciprocal impressions our bodies hold from the wear and tear of living. She re-interprets the remnants of labor, identity, gender, and memory, discovered or made and is inspired by processes such as performance, papermaking, sculpture or printmaking as well as materials commonly found in hardware stores, supermarkets and recycling bins.
