Artist Talk: Janet Loren Hill and Alex McClay

Join Abigail Ogilvy Gallery | Boston on SATURDAY JANUARY 6TH AT 2:30 PM for an conversation with Janet Loren Hill and Alex McClay moderated by Sam Fields. The artists will discuss their new works on view in the current exhibition: <a href="https://abigailogilvy.com/exhibitions/34-should-i-warn-the-others-janet-loren-hill-alex-mcclay-boston-ma/">Should I Warn The Others.</a> Free and open to the public. Complimentary beverages will be served. About the speakers: Janet Loren Hill is a New York City-based artist whose work exists at the intersection of textiles and painting. Dripping with absurdity she has built a world around the Chattering Teeth and Hammerhead People who play out propaganda techniques within her object-paintings, installations and performances. Hill received an MFA from Massachusetts College of Art and Design and a BFA from the University of Washington, where she also studied in Rome, Italy as part of the University’s studio art program. Alex McClay lives and works in Cincinnati, Ohio as an interdisciplinary artist, a professor in Printmaking at the University of Cincinnati and the 2022 Artist-in-Residence at Tiger Lily Press. She graduated with an MFA in Studio Art from the University of Georgia in 2021. She received her BFA in Photography and Sculpture from the University of Cincinnati in 2014. She was a Core Fellow at Penland School of Craft in North Carolina from 2016-2018, where she studied craft in many forms, including textiles, metals, printmaking, book arts and papermaking. Her current practice engages language, material, and the human body to question and disrupt the power dynamics present in our most intimate and vulnerable spaces. Sam Fields grew up in Brockton, south of Boston, Massachusetts, USA. Her work is influenced by her lower-middle-class roots and expressed through her choice of materials, process, and content. Craft is a philosophy for Sam which acts as both resistance and a model for change, a tool for pushing against current structures of inequitable power. She uses the language of textiles to create sculptures, performances, and spaces of engagement.She is drawn to the language of cloth because of its complicated, often disturbing, and yet, deeply empowering history; for its involvement with every aspect of humanity, from origin stories to the support or subversion of political structures; how it informs our economic systems, technology, personal history, and identity.
