Joanna Keane Lopez is a multidisciplinary artist currently living in New Mexico. As an artist working in sculpture, her practice is inspired from a cross-disciplinary approach to public, participatory and social engagement. Joanna primarily works with the materials of adobe architecture, earthen plaster and alíz (a clay slip paint) to address conceptions of sculpture in engagement with land. Students may discover how land, home, vernacular architecture, and local environment engage with contemporary sculpture.
