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.
