Works by MFA Candidate Tavia Sanza

March 8-19, 2021

Bingham Gallery is pleased to open a new exhibit featuring the thesis work of MFA candidate Tavia Sanza (she/her).

Tavia Sanza's frenetic use of embroidery and stitching relates to lost history, memory, and transformation. Utilizing a series of traumas and reconstructions, the embroidered pieces Sanza starts are consumed by new layers of complex growth. As the forms are cut and restitched, the original “era” is buried and can only been seen through brief glimpses of strata. The striations show how each new “era” is built upon the past.

Photography is used to track and supplement the loss of physical information. Each image represents a version of the “past” that has been buried and fragmented by the layers of material that followed. The images are small and tiled, focusing on the passage of time rather than the process or details of each layer. Sanza’s thesis work navigates a flawed research system by displaying her intricate sculptural forms, and then looking backwards to explore the origins of the work.

Fuller Craft Museum is excited to host a panel discussion based on the new book Craft in Art Therapy: Diverse Approaches to the Transformative Power of Craft Materials and Methods (Routledge, 2020). Craft in Art Therapy is the first book dedicated to illustrating the incorporation of craft materials and methods into art therapy theory and practice. It demonstrates that when practiced in a culturally sensitive and socially conscious manner, craft practices are more than therapeutic—they also hold transformational potential. The panel will be moderated by the book’s editor Lauren Leone and will feature contributing authors Mikey Anderson, Marilyn Holmes, Rachel Wallis, and Sandie Yi.
