Cunsthaus Presents Power Play, a solo exhibition of works by Natalie Baxter. Baxter’s soft sculpture combines sewing and quilting techniques learned from her grandmother to produce pointed cultural commentary on issues of gender equality, the patriarchy and gun violence. Power Play brings together two series of her work, Warm Gun and Money Quilts. Baxter’s work has been exhibited recently in New York at the Elijah Wheat Showroom, Sears-Peyton Gallery and Mulherin Gallery, at Purdue University, Yale University, The San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles in California, Aa Collections in Vienna, Schaufenster Gallery in Berlin and has been featured in The New York Times, Vice, Hyperallergic, Huffington Post, and The Guardian, among others. Baxter has been an artist in residence at The Wassaic Project, a fellowship recipient at the Vermont Studio Center, and a Queens Arts Fund grant recipient. She currently lives and works in New York City.
