BIOGRAPHY

Karin Stack’s primary interest is the creation (and denial) of space. From layered and collaged illusory places, to photographs of elaborately staged sets and models, to dark moody etchings of the built environment, she explores the idealized and the falsified, the real and the fake, depth and flatness. Her projects have been exhibited in solo shows at Northfield Mount Hermon School, MCLA’s Gallery 51, and at Williams College Museum of Art.

Another body of work, Hair Stories, documents hair growth after cancer through chronological photos, voice recording, and flipbook. Hair Stories has been exhibited widely, including at the DeCordova Museum, Wesleyan University, and a natural history museum in France. Hair Stories earned a Mass Cultural Council finalist award and has been featured in the Boston Globe and on the cover of the Public Library of Science Medicine. See CV/resume HAIR.

Stack earned her MFA in printmaking at Colorado State University, and her BA in studio art at Wesleyan. As a visiting professor, she has taught digital art, drawing, and printmaking at Amherst, Wellesley and Mt. Holyoke Colleges. She currently teaches media arts at Mt. Greylock and lives in the Berkshires of western Massachusetts.
