About the Item

Mychaelyn Michalec is a textile artist and painter working in Dayton, OH. Her work depicts the private, awkward, and mundane moments of family life through a medium traditionally associated with domesticity and craft. The work explores women at midlife and the effects of motherhood and time on self-identity, the body, sexuality, and family relationships. By using an industrial tufting gun as well as hand-tufting, Mychaelyn optimizes texture, color and line, while recognizing the impact of both manual labor and technology on her work. The idea of modern technology as a disruptor also surfaces among her subjects where compositions show family members distracted by their electronic devices and seemingly disconnected from one another. Her work touches on how personal and artistic relationships are mediated through technology. More poetically, the work is about what we choose to focus on an how those choices shape our lives.

If the Two Realities Are Thus Brought Together
By Jessica Houston
Located in Montreal, Quebec
A group of figures heads for icy distant mountains. A familiar enough scene of polar explorers hauling their sledges. Yet somehow this does not quite fit the heroic mold. The ice and sky are tinged a movie musical pale blue and their gear is a bit too colorful for the era of man-hauling. And then there’s the sled, piled high not with boxes of supplies but with a jumbled heap of antiquities: Greek Athenas, bits of a coliseum, a ship’s great wheel. In Jessica Houston’s collage “The Long Haul,” the explorers drag history itself into the great beyond, their backs turned from their absurd load. But we take in the entire scene. In her suite of works, Over the Edge of the World, Houston uses oil on wood, ink on paper, and collages of found images, many from National Geographic Magazine, to rearrange the evidence – and thus history’s possibilities. Houston joins visual artists such as Judit Hersko, Katja Aglert, and Isaac Julien...
