Lillstreet Gallery hosts its annual Artist-in-Residence exhibition, which will showcase the varied work of artists representing each of Lillstreet’s art departments. Lillstreet’s artist residency program provides an opportunity for artists to work in a collaborative, community-based arts center offering resources and instruction in a variety of media. Resident artists work with students, enriching Lillstreet’s education programs, while developing their bodies of work. Applications are accepted each spring.
The 2012-2013 Artists-in-Residence include:
Garrett Baumer, Digital Arts and Photography
Born in Dayton, OH, Baumer holds a BFA and MFA in photography. His images are a hybrid of visual elements used in set design and concept art found in filmmaking.
Alice Costas, Kidstreet
Working at the intersection of art, teaching, and community-based practice, Costas explores the multiple dimensions of experience taken on when one enters the roles of teacher and student.
Paige Fetchen, Textiles
Fetchen received her BFA in Crafts from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. Her sculptural work is focused on the space that remains after an object has departed, bringing item and location together.
Heejin Hwang, Metalsmithing
Originally from South Korea, Hwang is an art jeweler who uses steel wire as a base. Hwang creates jewelry that frames female identity through the lens of beauty, control, dignity, strength, and vulnerability.
Joanna Pike, Handbuilding
Born in Portland, ME, Pike uses salvaged ceramic material, such as clay and glaze from sink traps and mop buckets, to mold functional sculptures that quietly propose a new way of living.
Gwendolyn Zabicki, Painting and Drawing
Zabicki is a Chicago artist with a BFA from SAIC and an MFA from the University of Illinois. Her oil paintings present urban landscapes that explore the shared melancholy produced by life in the city.
Erik Zohn, Wheelthrowing
Drawing aesthetic inspiration from architecture and design, Zohn aims to create functional objects that, through their tactile and visual qualities, enhance the experience of use.
