Description
Nicole Sara Simpkins is the recipient of Antenna’s 2025 Solo National Exhibition. This collection of prose poems integrates research about the predicaments of engineering, extraction, and changing ecosystems in the Mississippi River. Featuring photos, drawings, prints, notes and references, this publication was produced in tandem with an exhibition of large-scale installation-based printmaking.
The cross-disciplinary work of Nicole Sara Simpkins combines printmaking, writing, and drawing to explore entanglements of culture, ecosystems, and personal healing. Her work has been supported by 2024 and 2019 Minnesota State Arts Board grants, a 2022 Mcknight Fellowship in Printmaking, a 2023 fellowship to attend the Diverse Intelligences Summer Institute in St. Andrews, Scotland, as well as by artist residencies and fellowships at Women’s Studio Workshop, The Studios at Mass MoCA, Millay Arts, Ucross, Jentel, Artspace Raleigh and The Vermont Studio Center. She lives in South Minneapolis and she really loves learning about plants.
