About
Srishti Dass is an abstract drawer and painter from New Delhi, India who recently got her BFA in Fine Art at the School of Visual Arts, New York. Born and raised in New Delhi, India. Dass drawings are symbolic maps tracing the flow of energy connecting the mind and the outside world as the former seeks peace through introspection. Dass notes that “It’s hard being a woman in a patriarchal society---my experience in that role ranges from anxiety to emergency”. Dass has been featured in reputed magazines like The Curios Publishing, VisioMag, and MixedMag. Since her graduation 2 years ago, she has been in numerous exhibitions, including Equity Gallery, the Greenhouse auction curated by Shlomi Rabi, and the First Presbyterian Church.
Maryanne Pollock received her BFA from Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia and Rome, Italy and continued her studies at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the Corcoran College of Art and Design and American University. She represented the United States in a contextual exhibition at the 54th Venice Biennale, at the Arts in Embassies Program in Egypt, and had solo exhibitions in Paris, Glasgow, Basel, and Cairo. She is a prolific painter, printmaker and arts collaborator whose work has recently been included in Personal Geographies, at the New York Artist Equity Gallery, and NEXT 2022, PrintMattersHouston and Paper 2019 selected by Jennifer Farrell, curator from the Metropolitan Museum of Art of Art. Publications include Home and Design, Luxe, Traditional Home, Professional Artist (cover), Egypt Today and the Washington Post. Sizable collections of her work include Marriott Marquis DC, Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, Inova Schar Cancer Institute, Qatar Foundation and the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities.
Ricki Dwyer (USA) is an artist and educator working between San Francisco and Brooklyn. His practice considers the intersections of the material, industry, and the somatic. This research addresses weaving and craft in both theory and practice. He honors drapery as the negotiation that things will never fall the same way twice. This year he exhibited his sculptures with Anglim/Trimble, The Berkeley Art Center, and the Biennale de Lyon (in collaboration with Nicki Green). His most recent text, Decennial, on weaving as a metaphor for mutual aid was published with the Wattis Institute for Contemporary Art in June. He has been artist in residence with Recology San Francisco, Jupiter Woods Gallery in London, The Textile Arts Center in New York, ACRE, and most recently completed a residency in the foundry of Kohler Co through the John Michael Kohler Arts Center. Dwyer is currently on the curatorial council of Southern Exposure, teaching art history at CUNY York College, and holding a studio practice between Brooklyn and San Francisco. He received his undergraduate degree in Fiber Arts from the Savannah College of Art and Design and an MFA from UC Berkeley.
Colette Robbins received her BFA from The Maryland Institute College of the Arts (MICA) and her MFA from Parsons the New School for Design. She has completed residencies at Austevollportalen (Marstein Island, Norway), Cill Rialaig Project (Ireland), and The Vermont Studio Center. Her artwork has been exhibited at various venues, including 101/Exhibit (Los Angeles), P.P.O.W. Gallery (New York City), Deitch Projects (New York City), The Hole Gallery (New York City), Koki Fine Arts (Tokyo), and Workshop Gallery (Venice, Italy). Her work has been reviewed in publications such as The New Yorker Magazine, Artillery Magazine, LA Weekly, and Beautiful Decay. Along with fellow 3D artist Sophie Kahn, Robbins co-hosts the File Exchange YouTube channel, which features interviews with contemporary artists who use 3D software. Robbins currently lives and works in New York City, where she teaches 3D modeling to artists at Pratt and the New York Academy of Art.
