Artist Talk: Tactics

This exhibition centres the sense of touch– of textiles, of soil, of kin– and how these experiences anchor us to our bodies and to the broad world of fellow organisms whose fates are intertwined with ours. These works celebrate and struggle with the wonder and the strangeness of this condition. Opening Reception: Saturday March 8, 7pm-9pm.

Montgomery has exhibited nationally and internationally and has work in public collections including the Centre for Art and Design in Churchill Australia, and Mushashino Art University, Tokyo, Japan. She’s completed multiple residencies, including the Vermont Studio Center, Pentaculum, and Calumet residencies.
