NANCY HOLT
STONE ENCLOSURE: ROCK RINGS
Edited by KRISTINA LEE PODESVA
With contributions by NANCY HOLT, SARAH CLARK-LANGAGER, LISA LE FEUVRE, BARBARA L. MILLER, SUSAN PENNER, MARIAN PENNER BANCROFT, KRISTINA LEE PODESVA, AL POYNTER, RENA PRIEST, KIRSTEN SWENSON, REBECCA UCHILL, HAFTHOR YNGVASON
This volume takes a long look at a single artwork Stone Enclosure: Rock Rings (1977–78) by the American artist Nancy Holt (1938–2014). A significant work among many in the prestigious outdoor collection at Western Washington University, it has stood for over four decades in Bellingham, Washington. As Holt’s first permanently public work, it has appeared in many discussions on the artist’s earthworks, but it has never been at the center of them until now.
Published in tandem with the exhibition Nancy Holt: Between Heaven and Earth (January 13, 2022–May 7, 2022) at the Western Gallery at Western Washington University and curated by Barbara L. Miller, this book examines Holt’s sculpture and practice through multiple perspectives including art historical essays, poetic memoir, interviews, archival documentation, and the artist’s own exposition in writing and images.
