Visual Artist, Designer, Art Handler, Curator

In this exhibition, multidisciplinary artist Kassie Woodworth explores the deep interconnectivity between people and nature—an energetic web that binds all living things. Spanning five years of work, the show brings together printmaking, drawing, and a culminating group performance with local movement enthusiasts. Each piece is rooted in personal introspection, inviting viewers into a meditation on connection, expression, and transformation.

Woodworth’s practice has evolved in tandem with a journey through shadow work—grappling with perfectionism, the tension between isolation and connection, and the emotional waves of loss, birth, and death. Drawing inspiration from the rhythmic intelligence of the natural world—water ripples, bird murmurations, the life cycles of plants—her work reflects an ongoing study of behavioral patterns in both human and nonhuman systems.

Many of the works were created in dialogue with a dedicated yoga and meditation practice, which informed not just the physical process, but the spiritual and energetic language of the pieces themselves. The result is a body of work that invites viewers to pause, to feel, and to remember their own place within the wider living system.

Hope to see you at the event on August 1, 2025. Be sure to catch the performance at 7pm. This event is free and open to the public. Everyone is welcome.

With love,

Kassie Woodworth

About

The work draws from personal growth, healing, and the dynamic relationship between my inner world and my external environment. I explore these themes through drawing, paper sculpture, ceramics, found objects, and textiles, allowing each material to guide my process. Practices such as meditation, yoga, and hiking in the forest feed my studio work.

A core element of my practice is mindfulness and the profound impact of healing, presence/awareness, and the study of energy. Having navigated through mental health challenges, housing insecurity, and physical health barriers, I focus on how art can facilitate healing, not only for myself but for others. My art bridges the personal and the universal, delving into human relationships, psychology, and the meditative aspects of creating. The environment and the ongoing conversation around the impact humans have on the earth often have a place in my work through concept, material, and process choices. Through the work, I aim to foster connection, whether between individuals / communities, or between humans / the environment.
