About the Item

Glazed ceramic, thread 4 x 3 x 3 inches Artist Statement I hand-sew compound sculptural forms that are constructed from clothing, furniture, household items, and other utilitarian materials. My sculptures grow organically into aggregates of color, pattern, and texture that gesture, emote, and hold space. The use of recycled textiles and household objects spark moments of recognition, as materials once used to cover and comfort take on their own autonomy. My sculptures are visually and thematically pieced together; a jumble of memories, feelings, and associations that blend, clash, and overlap. My form of mark-making is highlighted in the bright, visible stitching; a visual and functional element that underlines the anatomical aspect of sewing and presents the body as a kind of patchwork. My sculptures use posture and pattern to show how much we carry in our bodies at once: joy, silliness, softness, passion, strain, and longing. Bio Hanna Washburn is an artist and curator based in Beacon, NY. Washburn received her MFA in Fine Art from the School of Visual Arts in 2018, and her BA in Fine Art and English Literature from Kenyon College in 2014. She currently works in the Curatorial Department of Storm King Art Center. Washburn’s work has been featured in publications including The New York Times, Hyperallergic, Cult Bytes, and the Femme Art Review. Exhibition venues include SPRING/BREAK Art Fair (New York, NY), the Dorsky Museum of Art (New Paltz, NY), NADA Art Fair (New York, NY), Wassaic Project (Wassaic, NY), Munson-Williams-Proctor Art Institute (Utica, NY), Sotheby’s Institute of Art (New York, NY), and Rice University (Houston, TX). Washburn has held artist residences at organizations including Haystack Mountain School (2023), Vermont Studio Center (2019), and the Woodstock Byrdcliffe Colony (2018). Hanna Washburn’s hand-sewn sculptures are constructed from clothing, furniture, household items and other utilitarian materials. She assembles each work organically by combining assorted colors, patterns and textures. Bright, visible stitching serves to highlight the artist’s mark making while presenting the body as a kind of patchwork. The resulting soft sculptures seem to gesture, emote and hold space with a playful and slightly unsettling presence. Recycled textiles and household objects spark moments of recognition for the viewer, as materials once used to cover and comfort take on their own autonomy. For example, in a work titled Mermaid, an ottoman sprouts a long patchwork fish tail. Washburn’s pieced-together sculptures recall a jumble of memories, feelings, and associations that blend, clash and overlap, eliciting multiple layers of interpretation. Exhibited in "Talking Threads," Susan Eley Fine Art, Hudson, NY
