Lot 19 Bernice Ficek-Swenson Golden Valley, Minnesota Disintegration, 2025 Archival pigment print 15 x 45 inches $500 - $1,000 For over 30 years former North Dakota resident Bernice Ficek-Swenson has explored her imagery based on soil and stones from historic, political and spiritual sites. This long-investigated theme spans her photography, book arts, and installations which have been exhibited nationally and internationally. Her most recent solo exhibition was Language of the Land at the Strata Gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Reflecting on her image, Disintegration, Strata Gallery director Jennifer Van wrote, “Bernice Ficek-Swenson’s soil-based compositions echo the layered history of the land itself, reminding us of the quiet power of environmental memory.”
