Senninbari (2023) by Hallie Maxwell
Hallie Maxwell (she/her) is a Japanese American interdisciplinary artist based in Boise, Idaho. Maxwell works with installation, audio, video, drawing, and performance. She earned her M.F.A. in Visual Arts from Boise State University in 2024 and her B.A. in Art from California Lutheran University in 2019.
Maxwell is a recipient of the International Sculpture Center’s 2023 Outstanding Student Achievement in Contemporary Sculpture Award. She has participated in Artist-in-Residence programs at Cove Park, Surel’s Place, the Common Well, and MING Studios. Maxwell is a descendant of survivors of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and her work explores themes of generational trauma, loss, and disconnection from cultural identity.
During her stay, Maxwell intends to respond to the energy and history of the James Castle House in the creation of a new body of work. She is particularly interested in investigating the erasure and concealment of language as a legacy of family history. Learn more at halliemaxwell.com.
