Ohio-based artist and writer Carmen Winant introduces her latest artwork pieces. She notably focuses on human craft and tells the concepts through creative works of painting and paper-based pieces. She also intricately crafts collages that are made up of sourced photography.
The latest exhibition is entitled 'The Making and Unmaking of the World' which is taking place at the Patron Gallery in Chicago. The artwork displays shift and movement to capture what is described to be the act of making. There is also suspended artwork that adds a kinetic touch to the overarching themes and images. Many of the photos showcase traditional craft that celebrates the different cultures across the world. Winant asks the question, "who exactly makes the world; who is the teacher, and who is the student?"
