Edes Prize supports emerging artist

Artist Leigh Ann Pahapill, recipient of the 2010 Edes Foundation Prize, describes her art as a sort of “inverse sculpture,” where she attempts to decipher the structure of forms and their situations, as well as illuminate and question how the experience of forms drives meaning. Her installations are layered with complexity and engage with philosophy, psychology, literature, the sciences, and other artistic disciplines, including the writings of the French deconstructionists, 18th–century German Idealist philosophers, and the theory and stage practices of Bertolt Brecht.
