ABOUT THE ARTIST

Jane Reichle (b. 1998, Bryan, TX) is a self-taught embroidery and textile artist based in Austin, Texas. In 2022, Reichle exploded onto the scene and made waves in the industry after a series of sold-out gallery exhibitions and a prominent feature in Texas Monthly. Each of her pieces is a one-of-a-kind gem. She tells a resonant story— her concepts and narratives are then transferred onto fabric through the intricate art of hand-stitching. Reichle’s delicate handwork is imbued with a sense of heartfelt reflection and originality. 
Reichle draws inspiration from an eclectic blend of sources, including the legendary Nudie Cohen and the bespoke western wear fashion scene. Furthermore, she delves into the world of old-school American tattoos for additional inspiration and counts her eccentric Austin-based friends as a wellspring of creative energy. She explores time and memory in her work, creating a nostalgic yet contemporary reflection of Texan life. Her embroidery is a testament to her integrity, attention to detail, and the love she pours into each piece. 

The show will be online March 1 HERE.

Contours of Connection

by Mai Gutierrez and
Amanda Linn McInerney at ICOSA Collective

Exhibition Dates: February 28th - March 29th
Artist Reception: Friday, February 28th 7-10 pm

More information from ICOSA Collective:

“ICOSA Collective presents Contours of Connection, a multidisciplinary exploration of unity, inspired by the landscapes, architecture, and history of the Puglia region in southern Italy. Drawing from Gestalt theory—the idea that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts—artists Mai Gutierrez and Amanda Linn McInerney weave together sculptures, prints, and video to examine how distinct elements interact to create cohesive forms.

Gutierrez’s sculptures are inspired by the iconic trulli of Alberobello, whose dry-stone architecture embodies resilience and simplicity, as well as the southern constellation the Pleiades, which have long guided seasonal observations in the region. These forms draw upon Puglia's abundant limestone and ancient stone maps, intertwining necessity, creativity, and celestial symbolism into timeless expressions.

McInerney's encaustic serigraphs evoke the dreamy feel of the rhythmic movement of the water captured from the Salento coasts. Printed on acrylic, these screen prints reflect the Adriatic and Ionian seas’ colors and clarity, and play with depth to invoke the feeling of the shifting yet calm currents. These works capture the fluidity and balance of the natural world, echoing the sea’s moderating presence in the landscape.”

Art Talk: Shape Shift | Grids & Surfaces

Join ICOSA Collective for an engaging Art Talk exploring the creative processes and philosophies behind Shape Shift | Grids & Surfaces, featuring artists Monica Mohnot and Juliette M. Miller Herrera Nickle. This dynamic exhibition celebrates the interplay of material, identity, and design, showcasing how two contemporary artists push the boundaries of their mediums to create works that oscillate between the personal and the universal.

Monica Mohnot breathes life into textiles through bold, hand-woven canvases, where saturated hues and intricate stitching become a medium for exploring her Indian American identity. Her works are vibrant, tactile stories, weaving together cultural narratives and personal experiences.

Juliette M. Miller Herrera Nickle channels the Bauhaus lineage into the future with illuminated, sculptural collages that challenge the flatness of traditional grids. Her work, steeped in familial connections to the Bauhaus movement, transcends time and space, presenting geometric abstractions that pulse with energy and tension.

This talk delves into how these two artists transform form and material into a shared visual dialogue. Learn about their inspirations, techniques, and the evolving relationship between identity, history, and design.

Don’t miss this opportunity to engage directly with the artists and uncover the layers of meaning behind Shape Shift.

Uvalde-based nonprofit Lives Robbed will co-host a panel and art exhibit next month to address the gun violence epidemic. The exhibit, “77 Minutes in Their Shoes” will debut at 7 p.m. on Jan. 10 at the Canopy Projects Gallery. The project features images of the shoes that victims wore on May 24, 2022. It will run through Jan. 19 in the same event space.

On Jan. 11, gallery attendees may tune in to several panels slated throughout the day. Women in the gun violence prevention space, advocates, legislators, artists, and community members affected by the Robb Elementary shooting will share their stories.

There will be a private event on Jan. 9th for family members of victims ahead of the gallery’s public debut. Lives Robbed collaborated with Sarah Sudhoff on the project.

‘77 Minutes in Their Shoes’ is a gun violence awareness project meant to transport people into an elementary school where 19 children and two teachers were murdered in a mass shooting,” organization president Kimberly Mata-Rubio said in a Dec. 10 news release.
