Hanna Washburn | Tendrils, Limbs, Bellies, and Blooms
May 4th - June 9th
Hanna Washburn constructs sculptures from repurposed materials, such as clothing, furniture, and household items, sourced from her own life and those of her friends and family. Sewing by hand and working intuitively, she allows these forms to evolve into complex aggregates of color, pattern, and texture. With a background in traditional sewing passed down through generations, Washburn honors and experiments with her inherited process.
Catherine Chesters | Beauty in Breakdown
May 4th - June 9th
Beauty in Breakdown explores the intricate relationship between beauty and the breakdown of conventional forms. Through her mixed media artworks, Catherine Chesters invites us to contemplate the profound beauty that emerges from fragmentation and disarray.
