This exhibition catalog of the Studio Art Exhibition Program at Dartmouth College features drawings by 2012 winter Artist-in-Residence Laylah Ali. Ali is known for gender-ambiguous figural drawings and paintings rendered with a graphic quality. This catalog features her Typology series: ornately cross-hatched and patterned figures from a mythical anthropology, drawn in ink and colored pencil. They focus on identity and how this is manifest through adornment, skin color and physical stamina.
