Stacy Isenbarger’s artworks provoke
a sense of tactile memory. Collisions of materiality within precariously occupied
space challenge viewers to confront the sentimentality of distance and
restraint. Tensions created put us at odds with comfort and the familiar, asking us to confront the air shifting around us. Through her work we
are often reminded of what seems just out of reach but perhaps still worth pursuing.
Isenbarger’s creative pursuits include sculpture, installation, mixed-media drawings, student mentorship and supporting community exchange through art.
As Foundations Coordinator and Associate Professor of Art + Design at the University of Idaho in Moscow, Idaho, USA, she celebrates her opportunities to explore creative communication and empowerment. She received her BFA at Clemson University & her MFA from the Lamar Dodd School of Art at the University of Georgia—two places she has tremendous gratitude for especially in regard to how both experiences shaped her approach to teaching. When she's not teaching or making—and sometimes when she is—she's usually dancing since the act continuously validates her joy of community acceptance and shaking up space.
Isenbarger is the co-creator and a contributing editor for the studio art faculty online resource WhatDoWeDoNow.Art. She is also a member of the Confluence Lab.
