Janna Avner
Janna Avner (Koyukon Athabascan) creates immersive installations that reflect the experience of living between landscapes. Growing up in Los Angeles while returning each year to her mother鈥檚 family along the Yukon River in interior Alaska, Avner鈥檚 aesthetic and conceptual concerns are deeply influenced by her relationships to these disparate places.听Avner's exploration of light incorporates sculpture and digital art projection. Her light-objects often become symbols of self, or even abstract portraits.听
She has exhibited in Los Angeles, Japan, Iran, and New York, and New Mexico. Her artworks and curations are covered in听Vice, Hyperallergic, LA Weekly, Artforum, ARTNews, the Los Angeles Times, the Paris Review, and the New York Times.
