Renee van der Stelt
	Recent drawings by van der Stelt are produced through repeatedly puncturing the surface of the paper with a pin. The resulting images describe space in both diagrammatic and topographic ways. Depending upon the direction of the light, these visual maps appear as two dimensional dots, low reliefs, or points of light. The drawings suggest the globe and our galaxy. They reveal the biases and limitations of how we think about space. Renee van der Stelt is the Projects Coordinator of the Center for Art and Visual Culture and participates as an Adjunct Faculty in drawing at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. Before moving to Baltimore, she worked at The Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, and at El Museo Del Barrio in New York. Her work has been exhibited at Corcoran Art Museum, Washington D.C.; Maryland Art Place and School 33, Baltimore, MD; Tryron Center for Visual Art, Charlotte, NC; and the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art, Cedar Rapids, IA.
