Issue 12 of Ursula explores the inventive ways artists blur the boundaries between life and art. The cover features a work by Rashid Johnson, who reflects on family, identity and belonging in a conversation with his father and son. David Hammons, whose practice transforms the everyday into profound art, is the focus of three articles, including an oral history and an essay by Linda Goode Bryant.

Also inside: new fiction by Lynne Tillman, Ambera Wellman’s bulletin board and reflections on London’s Cosmic House by Charlotte Jansen.
