WENDY KAWABATA FEATURED IN “MATERIAL SLIP” AT UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING ART GALLERY

The exhibition “Material Slip” will be on display at the University of Wyoming Art Gallery from Jan. 18-June 13 of 2020. Working and dealing with fiber or textiles as a source, artists Margery Amdur (Philadelphia, PA), Diana Baumbach (Laramie, WY), Josephine Cachemaille (Auckland, NZ), Michelle Forsyth (Toronto, Canada), Wendy Kawabata (Honolulu, Hawaii), and Io Palmer (Pullman, WA) isolate and subvert materials to pose questions about accumulation, mass-production, and the role of materials and the handmade in the 21st century. In this six-person exhibition the artists present work that has developed out of similar methodologies, but is visually distinct.
