the photographs were 
more beholden to scenes 
at the table and food, 
with thinking about 
food not symbolically 
but metaphorically,” said 
Letinsky, who recently took 
part in an art residency 
program in France.
“I’m interested in the way 
food and life at the table 
have a history, narrative, 
and political and social 
context. 
“The ceramics feature 
vases, not very functional 
but they can be thought of 
as preparing for flowers. 
The idea has been making 
vases optimistic. Whether 
the flowers come is a 
question that they pose.” 
Letinsky’s work covers 
about 25 years. She has 
always made things and 
been interested in making 
things. They span from 
functional kinds of things 
to the fine art world. In 
college, she experimented 

with interior design 
and architecture before 
switching to fine arts. 
She earned her bachelor’s 
degree at the University of 
Manitoba and her master’s 
degree at Yale University 
School of Art.
“In terms of how I’ve 
worked, there is some 
abstraction because I’m also 
interested in photography 
and the role of photography 
in shaping our ideas of 
what home and the table 
should be,” she said. 
“My work is about the 
complexity, fragility and 
tenderness that I think we 
all need to have for one 
another in the world. I 
think the world is not about 
orthodoxies, but I think 
that it’s about complications 
and tenderness.”
Letinsky, who traces her 
Jewish background to her 
dad’s side of the family, 
teaches at the University of 
Chicago.
