THANK YOU FOR COMING TO OUR

FIRST FRIDAY RECEPTION

Kelly Dzioba Artist Talk

On April 4, Dzioba gave an inspiring artist talk about her process-driven textile works, created by twisting and connecting party bead necklaces into complex, shimmering forms. Drawing from the animated classic The Dot and the Line, her work explores connection, structure, and the beauty of accumulated gestures. You can watch it now on our website!

A Romance in Lower Mathematics

March 27 – May 8

Closing Reception: May 2 | 5-8pm

Artist Talk: May 2 @ 6:30pm

Inspired by the 1965 animated short The Dot and the Line, Kelly Dzioba’s work explores the transformative power of connection. Her minimalist, geometric, and expressive textile-based structures emerge from repeated gestures—twisting, knotting, and linking materials until they form cohesive, evocative forms. Dzioba’s process-driven approach seeks to create moments of limbic resonance while challenging the hierarchy of art and craft.
