statement
“…but nature in fact is not a condition of the ideal.”
observing the temporal qualities of our fabricated environments,
ubiquitous forms become monuments and mirrors to time,
offering parallels between
rigidity / flexibility
natural / artificial
growth / destruction
motion / stillness

bio
Molly is an artist and designer fascinated by urban structure and expansion; cities like her homes of Houston and Phoenix provide constant fuel to her practice. Molly received an MFA with an emphasis in fibers from Arizona State University (2017), and her work continues to carry on the delicate, expressive qualities of her background and BFA in drawing from Fort Hays State University (2013). Melding a practice of drawing, weaving, and sculptural installation, Molly’s work examines idealizations of nature. She responds to city landscaping and structure through material and construction, exploring why we choose to seemingly improve the aesthetic appearance of our surroundings by often eradicating the “natural” in preference of the artificial.
In addition to keeping a studio practice, Molly also teaches workshops and classes regularly.
