Emma Steinkraus

Eliza Moore Fellow, 2020

 Emma Steinkraus is an artist, curator, assistant professor, and the visual arts editor of the contemporary poetry and art magazine Company Journal, currently based in Farmville, VA. Her work combines paintings, photo transfers, and installations to explore gender and ecology. Her project for the Eliza Moore fellowship, Impossible Garden, documents the contributions of women to natural history and scientific illustration by assembling thousands of images of the animals, insects, and plants created by 130 of history’s female scientific artists working between the 15th and 19th centuries into a mural wallpaper.
