With an artist name like Kujo Lynx, Katie Elia has us wondering if she didn't just materialize out of the mist some dark night — a 24-year-old medicine woman bearing feathers and coyote heads. A recycler of natural resources, Elia uses everything from branches and rawhide to bones and animal parts to create installations of deer legs and coyote faces, along with a few black-light paintings for a psychedelic touch. "I'm creating these objects for people in sort of a shamanistic way," says Elia, "so they can re-evaluate their own self-identity and push themselves back into the natural world." She encourages visiting the exhibit twice: once during the day and once at night, with the lights off and paint aglow.
