Opening Night: Claire Zurkowski

6:00 pm — 8:00 pm

Join us in welcoming a new Build Coffee artist-in-residence: Claire Zurkowski of Lattice Textile Studio! Claire is a textile artist and mineral physicist based in Hyde Park. Her scientific research is focused on understanding the chemistry and structures of minerals that form deep inside of the Earth. Through her weaving, Claire explores how our eyes interpret optical and spatial information. 

Recently she has been interested in blurring boundaries: between inside and outside, light and dark, floor and chair. After researching and contemplating these ideas, she hopes to provide instinctual pathways for using a space through textile design. In her time as an artist-in-residence at Build Coffee—October 2019 through January 2020—Claire will be filling the space with her large format woven fabrics and custom-made tufted pieces.
