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.

What Happens To Us When We Die
By Amy Wilson
Located in Red Bank, NJ
I am a multi-disciplinary artist who has professionally shown my work in dozens of galleries and museums since the late 1990s. But while my work can take many different forms, my practice is rooted in drawing. Whether I am working on the watercolor and acrylic pieces, or fiber-based pieces, every project and every idea begins with a drawing. Through that process I lay out my ideas, ask myself questions, experiment with different options, and try to resolve all the formal and conceptual issues I will attempt in my final piece. The themes I have explored in my work from 1999 on, and even before then, have remained the same even though my style has shifted radically. I have been interested in exploring self-portraiture, personal narratives, femininity, politics, and the use of text in art. I have remained constant in my exploration of critical theory and art history, and drawn influence from artists as diverse as Joseph Beuys, Henry Darger, and Adrian Piper...
