Through the collaborative lens of ‘Marks & Stitches’, Jayne Struble and Liz Hamilton Quay intertwine the realms of drawing, projection, soft sculpture, and material exploration. Together, we delve into the connections found in nature and the human body. Drawing from the patterns in nature and the complexity of human anatomy, our work transcends traditional boundaries, inviting viewers to contemplate the interplay between the microcosm and the macrocosm. Our collaboration is an exploration of the invisible ties that bind us, highlighting the beauty of interconnectedness and the delicate balance it entails. ‘Marks & Stitches’ encourages viewers to reflect on the intricacies of life and the shared experiences that define us.
Liz Hamilton Quay currently serves as the Assistant Professor of Textile & Materials Studies at Kutztown University of Pennsylvania. She followed her passion for the manipulation of fabric to earn her MFA at Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia in Fibers and Materials Studies. Her journey began at Kutztown University, where she proudly received her bachelor’s degree in Art Education and a BFA in Craft, concentrating in Fibers. Her creative approach is based on her natural curiosity for materials and a joy for making. Through a variety of techniques ranging from traditional fibers to experimental sculpture, she creates work that explores innate visceral feelings connected to the body. Her work has been featured in venues such as, the WestBeth Gallery in New York, the Ceres Gallery | New York, Fibre Arts Take Two, Fibre Arts Australia, Surface Design Association publications, and Peters Valley School of Craft.
Jayne Struble received her MFA from Columbus College of Art & Design in 2014 and BFA from Kutztown University in 2011. Struble is a drawing focused artist whose work incorporates sculpture and video into a site-specific work that investigates the way visual artifacts, such as video or images, are tangible yet vulnerable signifiers for our memories. Her work has been exhibited across the United States from the Cultural Arts Center in Columbus, Ohio to the Charles A. Hartman Gallery in Portland Oregon and 4Most Gallery in Gainesville, Florida. Struble has attended multiple artist residencies including the Vermont Studio Center, Signal Fire Arts, and The Jentel Foundation. In Philadelphia, Struble is a member of Grizzly Grizzly, an artist-run exhibition space devoted to providing artists with a space which exists outside of commodification to take risks with their work. Currently, Struble resides outside Philadelphia and is an Assistant Professor at Kutztown University in Kutztown, Pennsylvania.
