Regin Igloria: Gone Backwoods

Polvo's summer continues by showcasing the work of Regin Igloria. For this show Regin will exhibit a series of drawings and artists' books. He describes his work: "My drawings and books utilize the tactics of popular imagery seen in catalogs, outdoor magazines and public phenomena—examples of cultural media—to convey this emotional plight. Longing to be elsewhere, of finding a home which may never be lived in is a joy in itself. The physical act of creating my work is a slow, methodical process. I participate in such an activity as I might on an outdoor hike, experiencing its difficult moments, continuing forward, finding a place to stop and rest, and moving forward once again."

Regin has an MFA from Rhode Island School of Design and a BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He is responsible for active recruitment for Ragdale, collaboration with other arts organizations, managing all phases of the application process including panel selection and review, serving as a liaison between residents and staff during residency and establishing a strong alumni program.
