Solo Exhibitions by Natalie Grieshammer and Elise Radzialowski

Small BOX: “Pages from Brother’s Grimm” by Elise Radzialowski
A painting and drawing student in her final year at The University of Akron’s Myers School of Art, Radzialowski presents a series of watercolor narratives that bring together the archetypal Grimm fairy tales with the human experience of present day. “Through these stories, I want people to remember where they came from, identify their own hauntings, experience the fantasy of a surreal story, and see themselves as sharing life with all other human beings.”

Big BOX: “Bursting at the Seams” by Natalie Grieshammer
An Arts Administrator for the Cleveland Museum of Art, self-taught musician, and feminist fiber artist, Grieshammer holds a BFA from CIA and a MA from UA’s Myers School of Art. She presents highly-textured weavings, which incorporate nontraditional shiny materials such as glitter, plastics, and ribbons. “My work aims to validate and celebrate femininity. Surface seduction, unrestrained craft, and decoration, are a means of overturning cultural structures imposed upon the feminine.”
