Visual Art

Journie Cirdain (b. 1993, California) is an emerging artist who makes drawings that explore themes of magic, wildness and the feminine in order to dive deeper into human interaction with the non-human in ways which do not reinforce fantasies of human power or superiority, but instead interpret this relationship as far more complicated and mutually generative. Using graphite on paper, Cirdain utilizes discursive drawing styles in order to engage in different qualities of thought. She earned a BA from the Great Books program at St. John’s College and an MFA from School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She has shown nationally and internationally in group shows, and her most recent solo exhibitions include Memento Vivere at Western Exhibitions in Chicago, and Growing Out at Gallery A in Seattle.
