I crochet, weave, or sew with irregular and unpredictable techniques to build abstracted forms. Though abstract, my sculptures are informed by the human body. My process involves cutting used materials like clothing, curtains, and sheets from family and friends into giant, continuous thread. Using this thread, fiber, paint, and found materials, I create linear elements, which intersect and transfo

Contrastingly, the resulting material configurations resemble the individualized handiwork of women craft-makers, but with an explosive or decaying quality.

I'm showing some work in the Mesa College Art Gallery window and you can check it out this Thursday (or anytime, really) 3-6:30PM. The main gallery exhibition By(e) Default will be hosting their opening reception. I'll also have blank air postal pages for anyone to write a letter to the past or future....

So not only do we have a reception for By(e) Default this Thursday February 15 from 3-630pm. We also have our first window installation project of the year with local artist Dia Bassett titled “Hanging on by a Thread”. Come hang out with us and check out some amazing art work. See you there!

Matthew Barney isn’t very good at talking about his work—he’s almost willfully dull, in fact. And he went to Yale. But he’s Matthew Barney, so there it is.

This is going to be such a fun class at the Athenaeum. The class will be featuring painting styles similar to fresco--just like Michaelangelo!

And you can invite your mother along for a fun, art-filled day! Register online for Painting Alla Prima: Get Loose!
