Chicago-based, Lana Crooks, is best known for her soft specimen-style sculpture. For Crooks, Mourning Apparitions is an opportunity to honor the realm of ghostly apparitions which pair well with her iconic, vintage style. For the exhibition Lana has created 22 one-of-a-kind textile sculptures, elegantly displayed in shadow boxes, miniature museum cases, and bell jars.
