Kari Dyrdal
Norwegian, b. 1952

Kari Dyrdal is a textile artist, known for monumental tapestries that exhibit a dual mastery of the cultural tradition of hand weaving alongside an intricately researched digital production. Dyrdal’s practice involves a deep investigation of memory, incorporating pattern, repetition and structure as expressions of her ideas on aesthetics and cultural heritage.Working from her personal photography, Dyrdal considers the use of recognizable images as essential to her technique; expanding the potential of textile to communicate, she transforms her photography within the digital loom to create a juxtaposition between pictorial representation and abstraction. Dyrdal’s textile works approach grand, architectural scale, and through her meticulous and premeditated digital process and aesthetic - the tightly packed pixels and fine-tuned mechanized control of weaving - an intimacy emerges, a humanity that withstands and is heightened by the technological process.

Drydal serves as a professor in the Faculty of Art, Music and Design at the University of Bergen. She holds degree in Textile Art from Bergens Kunsthåndverksskole in 1977, and completed post graduate study at the Croydon College of Art and Technology in London in 1978. Her work has been exhibited at the National Museum, Oslo, the KODE/Vestlandske Kunstindustrimuseum, Bergen, and the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, among others.

Donna Green
Australian, b. 1960

Donna Green’s ceramic sculptures are in a continuing state of growth and transformation. Green plays with coils of stoneware, prodding and poking to create anthropomorphic gestural shapes that burst and stretch into space testing the clay’s physical limits. Her distorted vessels investigate the dichotomy of ugly and beautiful; the heroically scaled urns undulate and drip with layer upon layer of glaze. Green draws inspiration from the ancient Jomon ceramics of Japan and Chinese Han Dynasty storage jars, as well as Gonshi, the natural occurring scholars’ rocks, and Baroque garden grottos.

Donna Green was born in Sydney,Australia, and earned a Bachelor of Arts in Industrial Design in 1984 from Sydney College of the Arts in New South Wales, Australia. In 1985 Green moved to New York and joined Industrial Design Magazine as one of its editors. Green began working in clay in 1988 studying at Greenwich House Pottery and the New School in New York; and in 1997 at the National Art School, Sydney. Green has participated in several workshops including ‘Fire Up’,1995 with Janet Mansfield in Gulgong, New South Wales, working on-site with Danish artists Nina Hole and Jorgen Hansen; and in 2018 Green took part in “The Vessel as Metaphor” with Tony Marsh at the The Anderson Ranch, Snowmass, Colorado. In 2019 Green was a Resident Artist at California State University Long Beach. Later in 2019 she undertook an Artist Fellowship at Greenwich House Pottery. Green’s work has been exhibited at McClain Gallery, Houston,TX;Greenwich House Pottery,NewYork,NY;UtopiaArt Sydney,Australia.Her work is in the permanent collection of the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences, Sydney,Australia. Green lives and works in NewYork.
