Fall 2009 MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS EXHIBIT: ARTISTS’ BIOGRAPHIES Lynne Allen Moccasin #2 2000 Lynne Allen Knife Sheath 2006 Lynne Allen Lynne Allen is well known both for her traditional as well as her three-dimensional prints. Her inspiration comes from the history of the women in her family as members of the Standing Rock Indian Reservation in South Dakota. When the matriarchs in her family were sent to government boarding schools as part of a plan to “educate the Indian,” they became outsiders in both the Native American and white worlds. Lynne Allen’s work reflects her “foot-in-both-worlds” existence. Although Native American, she appears to the outside world as a white woman. A central theme of her prints and three-dimensional objects is the misunderstanding between Native and white Americans. In Moccasin #2, Lynne Allen showcases the one-of-a-kind quality of her work; layered etchings on handmade paper have been sewn together to form threedimensional moccasins. The moccasin is an iconic image of Native American culture. The use of such a recognizable image to convey a message is characteristic of her work; Allen often features moccasins, knife sheaths, and stamp bags constructed of original 19 th century land documents or etchings on handmade paper. Lynne Allen is the Director of the School for Visual Arts at Boston University as well as a professor of art. Her work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally and is a part of the permanent collection of museums throughout the world. With over 100 exhibitions featuring her work in the United States alone, Allen has been recognized both through awards and exhibitions as one of the outstanding artists of her field. 23
Fall 2009 MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS EXHIBIT: ARTISTS’ BIOGRAPHIES Tim Dooley is known for his printmaking as well as his Mixed Product installations. These installations are based on and center around printed panels. Dooley considers these Mixed Product panels as the core of his work. The panels begin as traditional collages which Dooley then augments further using his computer. The collage imagery concentrates on the space between oppositional human emotions within a violent, consumer-driven society, feelings such as fear and hope or alienation and intimacy. Dooley is constantly making new panels and feels that Mixed Product will never truly be finished as its evolution coincides with his evolution as an artist. Tim Dooley Tim Dooley Mixed Product 2005 Dooley’s installations, like the one pictured here, employ brightly colored prints, wires, and other media which twist and coil among each other, disguising what are often sinister messages about the unpredictable and sometimes dangerous aspects of modern technology and its place in society. Tim Dooley is an Associate Professor of Printmaking at the University of Northern Iowa. He has participated in multiple group, solo, and juried exhibitions in locations throughout the United States.
