S. Hollis Mickey is an interdisciplinary artist living in Anchorage, Alaska.
Hollis is not able to currently practice as an artist due to severe ME/CFS. This website archives past work.
Through text, textiles, sculpture, installation and performance, her work captures and remembers ephemeral, everyday moments-- those glimpses of finding the extraordinary in the ordinary.
Now, her embodied experience of disability and chronic illness inspires her to closely attend to the exquisite pain and pleasure, complexity and possibility of being a being in the world.
Hollis was awarded the 2015 Rhode Island State Council on the Arts Fellowship in New Genres. Her texts have been published in audio and print formats, most recently in the audio chapbook 'How to fold a fitted sheet' with Flag Day Recordings and the print journals Northern Review, Alaska Women Speak and Cirque. She holds a BA and MA in Performance Studies from Brown University, and a MFA in poetry at University of Alaska Anchorage.
