Linear Movement
Please join me at the Artist Reception for Linear Movement a collection of my newest artworks:
Essa Baird is an interdisciplinary artist whose focus is on abstract sculptural weaving. "Linear Movement" is Essa’s first solo exhibition delving into the rich potential of abstract sculptural weaving to forge both literal and conceptual connections. By exploring diverse materials and processes, Baird creates visually compelling works that explore the connective nature of the craft.
Drawing inspiration from the history of weaving, basketry, and ceramics—crafts traditionally linked to women and used for storytelling and record-keeping—she traces connections between the craft's legacy, her own familial relationships and the concept of genetic memory, while also exploring the use of different materials and processes to create visually interesting pieces.
This exhibition offers a first insight into her ongoing exploration of material, craft, and meaning.
