Reception

Kristin Lindseth

Lindseth’s sculptures and constructions detail her great grandparents’ immigration from Norway: the difficult Atlantic crossing by ship, and their subsequent struggle to homestead a farm on forested North Dakota land. Her work includes cast bronze ships and highly detailed wooden houses — representing the precarious homes her great grandparents built.

Margolin writes, “I left my birthplace many years ago. Since then I’ve changed places, languages and homes. In my mixed media works I deal with the theme of home, immigration and memories, the loss of the familiar and adjustment to new conditions.”
