Kiernan Lofland

Artist Statement and Bio

Kiernan Lofland finds and creates worlds, real and imaginary, material and invented, deliberate and accidental. He is an interdisciplinary artist exploring the expanding and changing imagination of landscape. Sculptural and photographic means are asked to find moments that can be named, and then also moments that are uncertain in time and place. The work is moving towards understanding this uncertainty, of our epochal reality and imagination, as the world heats up.


Raised in Virginia, Lofland received a BA in Art and Art History from the College of William and Mary, and an MFA as a Meadows Fellow from Southern Methodist University. Lofland is a co-founder of 100W Corsicana, a residency hosting national and international artists and writers in Corsicana, TX. Lofland has taught at the University of Nebraska Omaha, Concordia University Nebraska, and the University of Nebraska Lincoln, where he served as director of the Eisentrager-Howard Gallery. Through the Lincoln Arts Council, he was awarded an artist residency working with children on a permanent and site specific sculptural installation for Lincoln Public Schools, Lincoln, NE. Following this experience, he is now jumping through all the hoops needed for a K-12 Art Teaching Certification.
