Lee Deigaard explores the topographies where one consciousness encounters another, describing a landscape given shape and substance by its animals, their autonomy and expression, and our overlapping sensory and imaginative worlds. With language, photography/video, installation, event, and drawing, she works in collaboration and mutual curiosity to explore multi-species empathy, memory, intimacy, grief, and joy.
As an independent artist, writer, and researcher she has exhibited and presented her work nationally and internationally. Her writing and artwork have been published in Oxford American, Humanimalia, and Antennae: The Journal of Nature in Visual Culture among others. She holds degrees from Yale University, the University of Texas at Austin, and the University of Michigan.
