Guest Artist to Speak Feb. 19

Guest artist Josh Winkler will talk about his artwork in a lecture entitled “Reaching for the Sun” at 5 p.m. Feb. 19 in Baldwin Hall 114.

A Minnesota-based artist, Winkler works primarily with traditional and contemporary print media. Since receiving his Master of Fine Arts from the University of Minnesota in 2010, he has been creating works of art on paper, running a small gallery, building a stone cabin and exhibiting work nationally and internationally. Winkler is an assistant professor of printmaking at Minnesota State University in Mankato.

Winkler’s work reflects his interest in how humans manipulate and label the land and how time, politics and social change alter the context of both natural and inhabited locations.
