We sat down with Oriane Stender and Jessica Tawczynski to discuss their art, inspirations and processes.
Artist Bio:
Oriane Stender is a time intensive, ancient technique artist and maker who was born in San Francisco and based in Brooklyn, New York. Her pieces of hand-dyed threads and woven tapestries evoke the timeless tradition of women's craftsmanship found across many cultures. After receiving her education from the San Francisco Art Institute and UC Berkeley, Oriane has exhibited her geometric abstraction tapestry paintings nationally and internationally.
Jessica Tawczynski is a Boston based multidisciplinary 2D artist known for her wild paper-based works that incorporate collage, accumulation of found materials and map-making to create anthropomorphic caricatures of places and landscapes. Her works explore various stages of emotional intelligence and reference the sublime components of an environment under constant transformation, reflecting upon the climate crisis, and her own feminine identity. She received her BFA from University of Massachusetts, Lowell and MFA from Massachusetts College of Art and Design, Boston. She is also the founder of Inside Voices Art and has participated in international residencies and exhibitions.
For the exhibition "Abstractionism", a group exhibition featuring artists Eve Aschheim, Aristotle Forrester, Nygel Jones, Matthew Murphy, Oriane Stender and Jessica Tawczynski, running from July 21 to August 27, 2023.
