Artist Information
every day is an illuminated poem that reads, “every day, we are slowly, approaching, a solstice.” The artwork brings attention to the changing subtleties of seasonal light. Each line parallels the colors of the sky during twilight. With every step, the viewer seeks the end of the poem, becoming more aware of the movement of the earth and our relationship to time.

Joana Stillwell
Joana Stillwell is an artist and archivist currently based in Washington, D.C. She is fascinated by the mechanics of perception and memory. She collects and engages everyday fragments using digital media to make tangible the process in which we layer, reform, and reconstruct ideas of truth, self, and time.
Stillwell graduated with a BA in Art History and a BFA in Photomedia from the University of Washington in 2012 and received her MFA in Kinetic Imaging from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2017. She has received two collaborative commissions through the city of Seattle and was a member of the Seattle-based artist collective, SOIL. Residencies include Mildred’s Lane, Beach Lake, PA (2016), Vermont Studio Center, Johnson, VT (2018), Sirius Arts Centre, Cobh, Ireland (2018), and The Studios at MASS MoCA, North Adams, MA (2018). She is a Post-Studio Artist at STABLE in Washington, D.C. and was recently awarded two Arts and Humanities Fellowship Grants from the D.C. Commission on The Arts and Humanities.
