Nancy Goldring
Nancy Goldring (born January 25, 1945) is an American artist.

She was educated at University City High School, received a BA in Art History at Smith College, and an MA in Fine Art at NYU. She received her first Fulbright Grant to Italy immediately following Smith College. Work . While a graduate student, she was a co-founder of Sculpture in the Environment (SITE), an organization of artists dedicated to developing public art projects. After leaving SITE she began developing her own work, and continued to write about public sculpture. Together with architects Michael Webb of Archigram and Giuliano Fiorenzoli she collaborated on an exhibition, "Image of the Home" at the Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies in New York City. Goldring's work incorporates drawing, paper models, photography, and slide projection. Photos are layered like collages and eventually flattened into a final image, evocative of layers of archeological  excavation. There is a focus on travel and memory and the final pieces are sometimes shown as large slide projection installations. Her archive is held by the Smithsonian Institution. Collaborations.
