Cutaway

June 17-September 24, 2026

Opening Reception: Wednesday, June 17, 5-7 PM 

Eleanor Anderson, J Stoner Blackwell, Lucy Kim, Kirstin Lamb, Hai-Wen Lin

Cutaway considers boundaries, containers, and their relative permeability. Eleanor Anderson, J Stoner Blackwell, Lucy Kim, Kirstin Lamb, and Hai-Wen Lin respond to and resist materiality, bodies, and consumption. Marked by vibrant color and tactility, their works convene with the sky, cast biological media, translate craft methods onto unlikely substrates, and embrace distortion.  

Eleanor Anderson harnesses play and improvisation in luminous, meticulously crafted works that combine insulation, found objects, seed beads, and fused glass. 

J Stoner Blackwell transforms discarded plastic bags through embroidery, weaving, darning, and collage into vivid “lumpish, androgynous painting-objects” that consider utility, waste and the gendered hierarchy of artistic media. 

Lucy Kim casts flounder, teeth, and people into uncanny and comedic sculptural paintings that use distortion to interrogate how personal desires interplay with how we see. 

Kirstin Lamb combines cross stitch, embroidery, collage, and digital mark making to build paintings that layer and amplify feminine lap craft and the political legacy of the decorative arts.

Hai-Wen Lin “borrows the vocabularies of garments” to fashion wearable kites from dyed silk, cyanotypes, and jewelry chain that, held by sky, “make refuge for errant bodies.”

In the divots and recesses, these works direct us to the tensions inherent in both structures that support and distances that offer protection. Cutaway withholds as it reveals.
