In Resilience, curators Michele Hardy and Christine Sowiak navigate Teresa Posyniak’s illustrious career by exploring intimate connections between her sculptural and painted works. Posyniak works with diverse materials including steel, wood, concrete, handmade paper, felt, oil and encaustic. She explores themes of vulnerability and resiliency in contemporary society through her unwavering commitment to women’s rights and the environment. Its sensual surfaces imbued with drips, splatters and luminous layers, Posyniak’s work shifts seamlessly between figuration and abstraction.
