About the Item

In Tegan's words: “Textiles are a strong tradition in my family. My great grandmother was a seamstress in England before moving to the United States at the turn of the Century. Like many of their generation, resources and opportunities were limited so my great grandmother repurposed fabrics to make intricate toys and tapestries. My mother followed in her sewing tradition, and made most of her own clothes as a young woman in the 60′s and 70′s. “ “Although there is this connection with fabric in my family, I come from a more academic art background that focused on drawing and painting. I didn’t incorporate them into my work until college when I took electives in fashion design and surface design. Until this point, my work felt very tight so I found artistic liberation by cutting, tearing and collaging fabrics back together. Textiles opened my practice to abstraction where as before I felt so tied to representing the world as I saw it. Through textiles I also realized how important color was to my work, and I fell in love with dyeing fabrics and the subtle hues that one can achieve.” “My current work is a hybrid of textiles, sculpture and painting. I use the materials and techniques that best express what I am trying to convey.” BIO: Originally from the Philadelphia area, Tegan M Brozyna (Roberts) is an artist based out of Brooklyn, NY. Tegan's work draws from her background in painting and sculpture as well as a long family tradition in textiles. Her intuitive work is inspired by materials, landscape, mapping and an insatiable curiosity with the world around her. Brozyna received a MFA from Brooklyn College where she was a Graduate Teaching Fellow, and a recipient of the Cerf Award in Art as well as the Dean's Award in Art. Tegan holds a BA in Painting and completed a Post- Baccalaureate Fellowship at New York Center for Art and Media Studies in Manhattan. Tegan has exhibited at Queens College, Porter Contemporary in New York, Trestle Gallery in Brooklyn, Invisible Dog Art Center in Brooklyn, Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts & Sciences in Long Beach Township, NJ, the New York Public Library and Baum School of Art in Allentown, PA. Her work has been included in shows in Orvieto, Italy and Blonduos, Iceland where a piece was permanently installed at the Icelandic Textile Centre. From December 2014 - July 2015 three of Tegan's large-scale sculptural pieces were on view at the Philadelphia International Airport. In addition to teaching at Brooklyn College, Tegan has lectured at Messiah College in Mechanicsburg, PA and Hussian School of Art in Philadelphia. She is a former artist in residence at World Class Learning Academy in New York, Textile Arts Center (Work in Progress Program) in Manhattan and the Icelandic Textile Centre in Blonduos, Iceland.
