|
November 4 – December 21, 2022
Opening reception: November 4, 6–8PM EST Katlin’s newest body of work will be on display in the Praxis Gallery from November 4–December 21, 2022. ‘Tragic Miracle’ is a woven reflection on the deep relationship between the artist and her late grandmother. Viewers will be transfixed by the colors, patterns and texture in Shae’s weavings. Many works are woven digitally and include remnants, texts and images from her grandmother’s collection. This personal and profound exhibition is not to be missed. Katlin Shae is an artist who started weaving in 2006, and uses this process in her studio practice as a way to understand life. Shae received her BFA in Fibers and Textile Arts from Kent State University, in Kent Ohio, and her M.F.A in Sculpture, Weaving, and Material Studies from The University of Georgia, in Athens GA. She has exhibited extensively though out the United States in group, solo, and two person exhibitions in locations including The Ohio Craft Museum, The Biggs Museum of American Art, The Georgia Museum of Art, Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts, and Peters Valley School of Craft. Shae has been included in publications such as Research Magazine, Surface Design Journal, Complex Weavers Journal, ColorATL, Fold/Unfold, and Materialities: Contemporary Textile Arts. Some honors and awards won are Surface Design Association’s Creative Promise Award for Excellence, Best in Show, Gallery Directors Award, and Complex Weavers Award. Shae has participated in residencies at Athens Institute for Contemporary Art in Athens GA, and was the KSU Textiles Studio Jacquard Loom AiR during the Fall 2018 / Spring 2019 Academic year.
