Abigail OgilvyAbigail Ogilvy Gallery presents our second solo exhibition of fiber artist Katrina Sanchez. Katrina Sánchez is a Panamanian-American artist based in Charlotte, NC. Working between fiber and soft sculpture she explores connection, healing and power in her work. Knitting and stuffing each "knitted noodle", used as oversized linear forms to construct her works, she engages the soft materiality of textiles to play with the magnitude of comfort. Katrina combines knit and woven structures to push vibrant color and texture into space and is interested in establishing space for tenderness and joy while pushing scale to create a sensory effect of playful confrontation and power in her work. Sanchez received a BFA in Fibers from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and is a collective member of Goodyear Arts. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally; including recent exhibitions at Future Fair (Solo presentation, NYC) and Volta Art (Basel, Switzerland). She has worked with companies such as Lowe's, MTV, Credit Karma, Truist, and Ally bank, Fidelity Investments and is currently working on a new body of works for a solo intervention presentation at the Mint Museum Randolph.
