Hanna Washburn creates sculptures from repurposed textiles, furniture, household items and other utilitarian materials, sewing each piece by hand and allowing the forms to develop intuitively. Her background in traditional sewing informs a practice that blends quilting, embroidery and upholstery, while the bright hand‑stitching that runs through every work highlights the physical, anatomical aspect of the craft.
The exhibit, titled Connective Tissue, presents anthropomorphic figures that appear to grow and change, with curving shapes reaching toward one another and animating the gallery space. The sculptures combine color, pattern and texture to convey a range of feelings such as joy, silliness, softness, passion, strain and longing. In addition to the larger pieces, the show includes works on paper and small objects made from recycled paper, cardboard packaging and other discarded materials, all unified by Washburn’s distinctive hand‑stitched mark‑making.
