Nancy Riegelman's extensive art career has focused on exploring different ways that the body can perform as an instrument of production within the creative process. Through drawing, sculpture, embroidery, and poetry, her lines articulate ideas about physicality, impermanence, and the experience of time transcribed through the body.
