Regan Wheat

Regan Wheat, (1973 Lakin, Kansas, USA | lives and works in Italy) is a multimedia artist who does archival work, analyzes what is missing in language, history and places, highlighting the subtle gap between meaning and understanding. You work within the imaginary space of the word, of the forgotten stories contained in the collective memory that seem to maintain and perpetuate their own meaning, despite the collapse of cultural, socio-political and historical schemes.

She earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Kansas in 1995 and a Master of Fine Arts in Sculpture from the Cranbrook Academy of Art in 2003.
