Soft Structures

April 12 - June 1, 2024

At the center of a community there are flexible, resilient bones - a scaffolding of warp and weft, stories are woven through repetition and intuition. This group exhibition explores the edges of fiber art within the Milwaukee area.

Illustrations of ancestry, mourning and a world we long for, whose potential is blessed by every stitch, is longed into being. We share the preciousness and disposability of heirloom objects. We experience, grieve and heal the ubiquity of invisible labor with beauty, care, and solidarity. 

Soft Structures celebrates textile traditions, while making-into their evolving role in our shared futures.

Artists: Rosy Petri, Okja Kwon, Ella Clemons, Grace Rother, Melissa Dorn, Sarah Eichhorn, Jennifer Bastian, Jaymee Harvey Willms, and Thomas Colton Romero.
