In person / Exhibition and Talk / Quilting
Haptic Memory brings together the works of artists Ellen Dynebrink, Mariana Vidal Escabi, and Natalie Baxter. Each engaging in the traditions of textiles, re-configuring by methods of quilting, printing on, repurposing, shaping fabric into form - adding new layers of history, context and conversation.
This exhibition and artist talk will explore how materiality, memory, and identity intersect in their practices. From Dynebrink’s use of textile remnants and transformative processes, to Vidal-Escabi's participatory works which explore cross-sensory translations, generational memories, and the language of adornment, and Baxter’s bold, soft sculptures that reimagine domestic symbols and gendered labor, each artist reclaims the everyday to challenge cultural narratives and create intimate, critical dialogues through their chosen materials.
Join us at Russell Janis Projects for the exhibition opening 5-8pm. Artist talk at 6:30 pm, moderated by Janis Stemmermann.
