About the Item
Sophia Belkin uses dye painting, embroidery and textile collage to create intricate and dynamic compositions that reference natural processes. Her work is deeply inspired by the lush, humid, verdant nature of swamps in the gulf south, as well as the wetlands in the mid Atlantic. She works from a collection of original photographs that are printed on chiffon and attached to dyed backgrounds using a computerized embroidery machine. The appliqué technique references craft and fashion, while the content of the work mimics biological structures and movements. Like membranes within the body, or cell walls of a flower- the forms appear both permeable and rigid. Calibrating between intuitive gestural mark making and the controlled line of the embroidery machine, the textile paintings create layered, multidimensional environments that imply a constant state of regeneration, expansion and flux. Her paintings explore our inextricable interconnectedness to the environment, and consider alternative futures for our ecological landscape. She uses a lens of sci-fi and abstraction to imagine how our ecology and our humanity can continue to morph, evolve and adapt in the face of unprecedented uncertainty.
Sophia Belkin currently lives and works in Baltimore. She earned her BFA in drawing and printmaking from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2012. She has participated in residency programs in Wisconsin,Vermont, Norway, Russia, and the Narva Art Residency in Estonia. She also completed a residency at the Joan Mitchell Foundation in New Orleans in Spring 2024.

Underwater
By Erin Rachel Hudak
Located in Brooklyn, NY
Underwater, 2020, 12x9 inches, acrylic on wood panel
Reminiscent of an underwater journey, this painting is an exploration of a garden that
flows in and out with the tides. The neon yellow fades beautifully into stains of green,
then light blue with tuberous biomorphic shapes in the foreground.
Born in Stow, Ohio in 1978, Erin Rachel Hudak creates collages, paintings and installations that discuss ideas of freedom, power, perception and transformation. Hudak’s artwork is often inspired by her personal relationship with nature juxtaposed with various histories of "mans" relationship with ‘The Land’. Living in New York City has furthered her interest in the multiple intersections of the natural world within and around the city.
Hudak has been awarded with grants for her public sculpture projects: See Thru, Brooklyn NY 2014 , What We See, Brooklyn, NY, 2012; Love You Forever, Sun Valley Idaho...
