Amanda Martinez (b. 1988, Greenville, SC) is a sculptor whose works contain tessellated patterns that embrace a slowness both in process and reception. Though an attention to detail and uniformity across her surfaces may signal a mechanical means of production, Martínez in fact constructs her works entirely by hand. Inventing her own language of geometric abstraction, fashioning stencils or “profiles” of undulating shapes as distinct units of measurement, she maps out and carves her sculptures into discrete building blocks with infinite possible configurations.⁠ She received her Bachelors in Fine Arts from Kansas City Art Institute. She recently completed Cercado, an installation in the Brooklyn Botanical Garden as part of the Ankhlave Garden Project Fellowship. Solo presentations of her work include The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum; Ridgefield, CT; Aichi Prefectural Museum of Art, Nagoya, Japan; Here Gallery, Pittsburgh, PA; HESSE FLATOW, New York, NY; Victori+Mo Gallery, Brooklyn, NY; and Platform Gallery, Baltimore, MD, among others. Her work has been reviewed in Curbed, Surface Magazine, Architectural Digest, The New Yorker, The New York Times, among others.

 

Carolina Jiménez (b. 1991, Riverside, CA) is a textile artist based in Brooklyn, New York. Drawing on her heritage as a first generation Mexican-American, she creates monuments, woven paintings and wall sculptures that act as memory signifiers of mundane moments. The constructions become vessels into which the past is poured, molded, or reshaped (woven, unraveled, or stretched). Her work seeks to magnify the banal moments of daily life, making valuable the sometimes unseen acts of maintenance, softness, and care. She received her BA from Syracuse University (2014) and an MFA in Textile Design at Rhode Island School of Design (2018). She has held solo and group exhibitions internationally including Lobster Club, Los Angeles, CA; Alison Bradley Projects, New York, NY; JO-HS, Mexico City, Mexico; Bainbridge Museum of Art, Bainbridge, WA; and RISD Museum, Providence, RI. Her grants and awards include the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation Residency, Bethany, CT; Museum Art and Design Artist Fellowship, New York, NY; Casa Lu Residency, Mexico City, Mexico; and Etvernal Residency, Brooklyn, NY.
