    Episode 17: On the Table with Eileen Roscina

    Eileen Roscina is an artist, experimental filmmaker and naturalist from Denver, Colorado. She holds an MFA in Art Practices from the University of Colorado, Boulder and a BFA from Emerson College in Boston, MA, and also trained at the School of Botanical Art and Illustration in Denver. Through biomimicry and the study of biophilia, her work examines human’s spiritual and social (dis)connection with nature, and seeks to raise questions about realizing a radically different metaphoric mapping of time, space and our place in the world. Roscina works in 16mm film and animation, sculpture/installation with natural materials and alternative photographic processes. She has exhibited film internationally, and visual art at Museum of Contemporary Art Denver, Denver Art Museum, Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art (Boulder), Museo de Las Americas (Denver), Vicki Myhren Gallery at University of Denver (Denver), Center for Visual Art (Denver), Arvada Center (Arvada), Dairy Art Center (Boulder), University of Colorado (Boulder), Salina Art Center (Kansas) and was the 2019 Resident Artist for the National Western Stock Show, a 2018-2020 resident at RedLine Contemporary Art Center, Denver.

    Episode 16: How Strange it is to be Anything at All with Lexy Ho-Tai

    Lexy Ho-Tai is an artist, educator and goopey human. Her practice is expansive and ever-changing, but often rooted in exploring human connection, otherness, our inner-child and world-building through craft, play, DIY, monsters and collaboration. Recent projects include: creating a collaborative giant textile cuddle monster with 500+ elementary students, building and burning a wearable heartbreak monster, and making her first stop motion animation featuring tiny puppets of her family. She’s currently dreaming of a surrealist All-Ages Kids TV show with puppetry, masking and more (stay tuned!). She’s bad at small talk, convinced that everything is made up, and uses art to explore alternative ways of being in this world.  Lexy’s a core member of eco-theater groups Superhero Clubhouse and Agile Rascal Bicycle Touring Theatre. She’s had solo shows at the Museum of Arts and Design and Flux Factory, and has also shown work at the Abrons Art Center, The Highline, and the Museum of Modern Art. Past residencies include Watermill Center, Flux Factory, ARoS Museum, Everglades National Park, Art Farm, Elsewhere Museum, Wassaic Project, Vermont Studio Center and the Museum of Arts and Design, where she was a Van Lier Fellow. Recently, she was a part of the American Craft Council’s Emerging Artist Cohort. Her exhibition with PlatteForum, “How Strange it is to be Anything at All” is lovingly crafted, and features slightly existential soft sculptures, puppets, wearables, and drawings which come to life in a new stop-motion animation and installation. Throughout Lexy’s residency, she has worked with our ArtLab interns to create mixed media wearable monster costumes and explored the following questions:  What does it mean to be human? How can we free our minds? How can our bodies be home?  Lexy invites viewers into a space where you can rest, create, and be amongst the many beings there, which are extensions and mirrors of ourselves. After all, everything is made up and we can be anything at all. So, loosen up your human suits – all parts of you are welcome here. This is a soft place to land. www.lexymakesthings.com Blog: https://lexymakesthings.substack.com  Instagram: @lexymakesthings

    Episode 15: What Makes it Home with Heather Schulte

    Heather Schulte is an interdisciplinary artist in Boulder, CO. Her work combines hand-made textile materials and techniques with digital fabrication and design processes, analyzing the intersection of personal and public forms of language and communication. In 2020 she founded ‘Stitching the Situation,’ a collaborative tapestry documenting the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in the US. She has exhibited throughout Colorado at numerous galleries and contemporary art spaces, including RedLine Contemporary and the Denver Art Museum, as well as various galleries and museums nationally and internationally. Her work has been featured in publications such as, "Fiber Art Now," the "Surface Design Journal," The Denver Post, W.I.R.E.D., and numerous podcasts and independent magazines. She received her BFA from the University of NE-Lincoln in 2003. Her exhibition explores the notion of “home” as a site for dialogue about socio-political issues. Through an immersive and interactive installation, guests will be invited to settle in and engage with domestic objects, materials, and settings as an intersection of private and public space. We will consider questions of shelter, health, and safety and how they are inextricable from each other and economic and political contexts. In the midst of growing housing crises, refugees seeking asylum, genocidal conflict, and the ongoing effects of a global pandemic, how can we expand our ideas and beliefs about “home” to radically welcome not only other people, but also fully embrace our own selves? Can we reanimate our most intimate spaces and admit these places of dialogue and conflict, illness and healing, cohabitation of private and public selves? www.heatherdschulte.com IG: @heatherdschulte

    Episode 14: The Moon in Her Mouth with Tricia Waddell

    Tricia Waddell is the textile artist behind Studio Blkbird, based in Denver, Colorado at Tank Studios. Inspired by her degree in fashion design from the Fashion Institute of Technology and a variety of surface design workshops, her work combines painting and screen-printing with reactive dyes and resists to create visual textures inspired by abstract art, ceramics, and graphic design. Often incorporating mixed media and fiber elements, her current work focuses on soft sculptures that are interior self-portraits exploring mental health issues from processing raw internalized emotions to depression and negative self-talk. Inspired by the beliefs in many cultures that objects and dolls can hold protective, healing, and magical powers as talismans, she strives to create intimate works that embody quiet emotional power and empathy. Her goal is to create space for people to feel seen and heard, while also removing the stigma of discussing mental health, particularly in marginalized communities. Exhibitions include “A Spiral is Linear” at Friend of a Friend Gallery (2023), “Pink Progressions: Collaborations” at the Arvada Center Gallery (2020), and various art pop-ups in the Denver area. She’s a board member at Tilt West and an artist member of the Colorado Art Therapy Association. When she’s not in the studio, she works as an editor, writer, and storyteller creating content for artists and non-profits. www.studioblkbird.com @studioblkbird
