Hanna Washburn creates sculptures from repurposed textiles, furniture, household items and other utilitarian materials. She works by hand, allowing the pieces to develop into complex aggregates of color, pattern and texture that occupy space. Her background in traditional sewing informs her use of techniques such as quilting, embroidery and upholstery, while the recycled materials introduce moments of recognition as familiar objects gain autonomy.
The exhibit, titled Connective Tissue, presents anthropomorphic forms that appear to be growing and changing, with curvy figures elongating, gesturing and reaching toward one another. The sculptures convey a range of bodily experiences through posture and pattern, suggesting emotions such as joy, silliness, softness, passion, strain and longing. The show also includes works on paper and small objects made from recycled paper, cardboard packaging and other discarded materials, all marked by bright visible hand‑stitching that emphasizes the anatomical aspect of sewing and the patchwork of identity.
