Nicole Asselin is a textile artist and educator based in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Her work explores the intersection of craft, technology and the natural world. Asselin’s practice is narrative, telling the story of an object or material and its potential, both real and imagined. Her work utilizes magnification, abstraction, hyper-local material, and a hybrid digital/analog approach to making. She addresses and challenges themes of locality, tradition, innovation, handcraft, and sustainability.

In her practice, Elicia Epstein works across a variety of media, from sculpture and installation, to documentary photography and video, publication and collage. The objects and experiences Elicia creates serve as visual, physical and spiritual interventions. Whimsy and "nonsense" are essential to Elicia’s life and art practice; as a practicing Jewitch, magic and art are her sharpened tools for a more liberated future.

Kylee Jo recently finished her BFA in drawing from the University of Florida, and is still figuring out her identity as an artist. In her multi-media paintings and installations (which sometimes incorporate film and/or sound) she tends to use humorous modes such as cartoons and warped realities to present gendered stereotypes. Materials she uses range from crudely sewn fabrics, to used popcorn bags, horse stickers, and plaster.

Mimi Allin is a visual artist working with performance, photography and video. She uses her body as a visual territory for knowledge production, healing and exploration. Her practice is based in conceptual, performance art, photography and video. The practice’s conceptual intent seeks to activate a critical commentary on gender, power and human relationships. Allin’s work explores contemporary 4th wave feminist themes, encompassing oppressed/oppressor dynamics, the relationship between contemporary discourses about landscape and the self’s internal processes. Allin, while acknowledging death, also seeks paths of regeneration, opening a dialogue between relationship and function, in a proprietary culture that isolates the subject from its production. She reaches and teaches transformation by reclaiming her body and its charged relation to the landscape. The gestures in her work are poetic, ritual-based, seductive, fluid and playful. She falls cathartically in and out of rhythm with the world, aiming to elicit reflection and to disrupt the basic structures of things, real and imagined. 

Anne Wu is an established exhibiting artist working out of northern New Mexico. Curiosity inspires her to explore a variety of media and techniques to create dimensional objects and installations. The last decade has been spent primarily in cutting perfectly good pieces of fabric into very tiny pieces and sewing them back together.

Kyla Gilbert's practice investigates the changeability of matter and the fusion of organic materials and industrial products, in parallel to the human body within its environment. Coming from a background in performance, Kyla is drawn to the intersection between movement, design and building. Her main interest lies in materiality as it relates to domesticity and commodity/consumption. She's interested in the metaphorical and physical weight of the objects we surround ourselves with, and how our lived patterns act on and modify our environments and our bodies. Kyla builds using repurposed and found materials collected from her surroundings in an attempt to explore her connection to place whether it be temporary or for an extended period of time. 

Kyla created Someday My Prince Will Come.
