I spent many days with Marita Dingus at her Family Home\, thus named Mommy’s House which is her indoor outdoor studio. I documented her sculptures in which she uses  upcycled material to tell  the incredible stories of Black women on this contintent for over 400 years.This book is a celebration of the  eco system of Black\, Feminist\, Environmental Art! \nIn 2022 a 4culture grant was awarded to Marita Dingus to create a book with Joan Beard’ for the book Mommy’s House. The book is a photo essay of her studio at her Mommy’s House\, her work\, the artist and her animals.”\n– Joan Beard photographer joanbeard.com \nMarita Dingus has received a Visual Art Fellowship from Artist Trust (1994)\, a John S. Guggenheim Fellowship (1999)\, and the Morrie and Joan Alhadeff PONCHO Artist of the Year Award (2005). \nDingus has had solo shows at Henie Onstad Kunstsenter and The Stenersen Museum\, both in Norway (2002\, 2006)\, the Museum of Glass in Tacoma\, WA (2005 – 2006). Her work has been included in Nature/Culture organized by The Society for Contemporary Craft in Pittsburgh (2006 – 2008). Her work is in many regional museums and corporate collections. \n“I consider myself an African-American Feminist and environmental artist. My approach to producing art is environmentally and politically infused: neither waste humanity nor the gifts of nature. I am primarily a mixed media sculptor who uses discarded materials. My art draws upon relics from the African Diaspora.”
