Her works on paper, lithographs, and aquatints reflect the often surreal narratives of her artist''s books. Through self-portraiture, Niffenegger reveals her own self-assurance and whimsy alongside anxiety and loneliness, probing darker corners of the human heart and mind, often exploring the hopeless struggle with what Shakespeare called ''this bloody tyrant, Time''.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEssays by Audrey Niffenegger, National Museum of Women in the Arts Curator of Book Arts Krystyna Wasserman, and Art Institute of Chicago Curator and School of the Art Institute Professor Mark Pascale explore the artist''s influences and work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublished in conjunction with an exhibition at the National Museum of Women in the Arts\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57675726782846,"sku":"NW9781910702598","price":22.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781910702598.jpg?v=1783823435","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-eu\/products\/awake-in-the-dream-world","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
