Advance praise:
I was not prepared for how good the writing was! Evidence of Life is a beautifully written book that peers into the life’s work of artist Lissa Hunter, a beloved mentor and teacher to many. Her exceptional work, a mix of materials from the natural world, combined with our human experience, is a reflection of the nature of life. Thank you Abby Johnston for this view into the life and art of Lissa Hunter.
