Heather Baumbach Art

Heather’s work explores the complexity of my relationship with the physical body, skin, and the cloth that covers it while expressing cultural concepts of gender, domesticity, and craft. By cultivating a sensitivity to materials and an attentiveness to narrative, I manipulate hand-dyed textiles, creating meaning through sculpted layers, openings and folds. Her work frequently highlights themes of acceptance and rejection, drawing attention to both the hidden and the exposed.
