Being

BEING by Natalie Gerber positions fibre as a site of embodied research.

Natalie Gerber (BFA '03, Fibre and MFA '25, Craft Media) investigates patterns in relation to the body through layered silk, cotton, and linen, digitally cut, etched, and structurally supported. The work moves from surface to sculpture, testing density, drape, and tension while holding process as meaning rather than precursor. An accordion archive, material studies, and suspended textile forms trace learning, unlearning, and material negotiation. Works urge viewers to encounter craft as lived inquiry: provisional, vulnerable, and continually in formation.
