Artist

Brenda Mallory

Texture and rhythmic repetition are central to Brenda Mallory’s abstract compositions and installations. By ‘sewing’ together soft fabric forms—primarily reclaimed materials—with industrial hardware, she explores themes of dominion, disruption, repair, and the interconnections within long-established natural and human systems.

Brenda Mallory has exhibited work at Gorman Museum of Native Art, UC Davis, California; Heard Museum, Arizona; and Portland Art Museum, Portland, among others.

Artist

Bryan Fernandez

Bryan Fernandez is a Dominican-American artist from Washington Heights, New York, whose practice centers on the visibility of marginalized communities from his cultural background.

In response, Bryan creates large-scale figurative mixed media works that tell the stories of his people, challenging colonial and anti-Black narratives.

Bryan Fernandez has exhibited work at The Shed, New York; Bronx Museum, New York; and New Image Art, Los Angeles, among others.
