Susie Brandt
Susie Brandt says: To make is to think. To think is to make. Material and imagery are found right here and everywhere. Functional textile forms are constantly up for reinterpretation.

Ginger Ertz
About her work Ginger Ertz says: “I am a sculptor working primarily in chenille stems to depict the effects of climate change on water sources and the plants and animals inhabiting them. My forms are abstract yet organic, pulled out of my subconscious. They recall simple life forms, like underwater creatures, fantastic plants, or imaginary animals, often incorporating radial symmetry into the composition, at times mingled with references to architectural elements. In this body of work, I am also exploring ways to depict the movement of water. They are visual ideas brought to life, evolving as they grow in my hands.

Hanna Washburn
About her work, Hanna Washburn says: I am often trying to find the overlap between whimsy and weightiness in my work. Working with recycled textiles, alongside objects or furniture that have already lived long lives, there is memory and history embedded in the material. I like to let that speak to me as I work. That is part of the reason I do not plan out my sculptures very much—I like to leave things open so that the material, and my relationship to it, can take form in an organic way.
