Josephine Dorsey-Lauck

Josephine Dorsey-Lauck, a Chicago-based textile artist, works with the intricate relationships between objects and their owners, particularly; how we reckon with our cloth today. Favoring process heavy approaches like weaving, dye and print, the work seeks to inhabit a unique and ambiguous realm, existing between drawing, cloth, garment and something else. Through her work, Jo encourages viewers to reflect on the importance of craftsmanship, and its subtle disappearance which clears the way to an entirely new space for textiles to exist.

Kamille Kirschling

Kamille Kirschling is an installation artist who works with large-format photographs. They expose the melancholy of memory held in suburban houses, developments, and spaces. Analyzing the economic promise of progress and what remains left behind in its shadow. Photography allows the deconstruction and abstraction of the home to capture the rhythm of presence and absence. Tracing how memories evolve through continuous re-remembering and lay latent to resurface through surroundings. They construct installations using the elements of photography to explore ambiguity within the process of image-making while questioning how technology affects our perception of reality and certainty.
