    Nava Lubelski | May 2025

    During her residency, Nava will be working on a large-scale immersive environment constructed of the delicate details associated with traditional folk handcrafts. Using needlework in expressive, chaotic and destructive ways has long been a signature in her work and with this project her approach is to challenge the viewer to find beauty in the breakdown, seeing tangles and snarls as intricate lace, and allowing the seductive and satisfying qualities of embroidery to be used in service of memorializing stains and other random marks.

    Martha Skinner | July 2025

    Martha Skinner creates drawings that are spaces and performances –playfully subverting and transforming issues through works emerging as celebrations of life. At Lamplight she’ll be weaving herself into a drawing within a drawing of drawings –a durational performance in collaboration with light, space and the visitors to the sliver of space as a series of participatory performances.
