—---------------------

Shana Kaplow’s statement:

Shana Kaplow’s work connects personal narrative with larger global questions. Stemming from her father’s early work in solar energy, she reflects images of power lines, crude oil, and the sun in a curved, circular mirror, using them as points of departure for her paintings. The energy grid becomes distorted and mercurial, signaling either the brink of collapse or the potential for transformation.

Dahn Gim’s statement:

Dahn Gim work navigates the dynamic tensions between the known and the unknown, familiarity and uncertainty, through processes of alteration, restoration, and reassembly of everyday, found, and materially sensitive forms.

Emmett Ramstad's Artist Statement:

Emmett Ramstad’s work is inspired by q***r and trans archives. Curious about how objects are personified to hold and tell stories, his sculptures reform materials from the home, such as worn dishcloths and flaking fence posts, to explore the presence, absence and imprint of bodies in domestic and public spaces.

Rachel Breen's Artist Statement

Rachel Breen is a maker, who unmakes and remakes, addressing the interconnections of labor rights and climate change. Working primarily with used clothing, these materials embed the histories of both workers and wearers into her work. Stitches connect her materials together as a form of resistance, holding together something new and reminding us of our ability to repair and rebuild.

Exhibition extended through May 16th, 2026

TOGS Quilt group began in 2008, with the goal of being a group of quilters and friends who wanted to enjoy and improve their quilting skills. They meet monthly to discuss and support each other on projects. Many quilts can take a month, and some more than a year to complete.


Fifty-five wonderful quilts were created for the show at 801 Gallery in the 801 Washington Lofts. Some of the styles of quilts you will see are Round Robin, Row by Row, Medallion, One Block Wonders, Block Exchanges, Farmer’s Wife, a variety of 1800’s reproduction quilts, and "mom’s quilts' made by two sisters as a tribute to their mother.


They are featuring twelve quilts made to support Avivo Village, an indoor community of 100 tiny homes that provides shelter and services to people experiencing unsheltered homelessness. The Avivo quilts on the first floor are for sale. All money raised will go entirely to Avivo Village.


Services at Avivo Village are designed with the goal of moving people into permanent housing and taking the next steps toward their well-being. Avivo Village is located at 1251 North Washington in Minneapolis. The TOGS quilt group is one of several quilting groups that make quilts for the residents to offer them comfort and warmth. The quilt is theirs to keep and take with them when they leave the Village. For more information about the Avivo Village, please go to avivomn.org.
