Michelle Nordmeyer

I am a former Bricklayer/Labor Organizer/Kitchen Manager/Gas Station Attendant/Photo Lab Worker who now makes her money cooking at a Jewish deli and performing maintenance at the Hyde Park Art Center in Chicago, IL. Throughout these jobs, I've been a printmaker. My work addresses the human experience of chronic misunderstanding, often illustrating the elaborate strings of what I feel are significant and connected thoughts to help me get to the essence of what I know. Or try to, anyway. My latest project, The Intention Generator, will be a series of simpler images, usually a positive intention for the understanding that we are interconnected, given out as gifts to strangers (for the most part). I've set up the blog intentiongenerator.com to allow for a person to find out who I am, why I'm doing the project, or ask questions if they have them.
