ABOUT PRISCILLA ROGGENKAMP<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\n

Priscilla Roggenkamp is an artist and teacher. She studied at Kent State University (M.F.A.), University of Arkansas (M.Ed.), and Heidelberg College (B.A.), and she lives with her husband Rudy on a farm in Northeast Ohio. She maintains a studio in downtown Alliance, Ohio, and teaches at Ashland University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teaching art is a consistent thread in Roggenkamp\u2019s life. From school children to college students, she continues to be inspired by the process of working with others in creative and educational pursuits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roggenkamp works in various media, including textile sculpture, painting, and printmaking. She is represented by Not Sheep Gallery in Columbus, Ohio, and recently received the Ohio Arts Council \u201cIndividual Excellence Award FY21\u201d in sculpture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some highlights of Roggenkamp\u2019s artistic journey are creating a site-specific sculpture in Akko, Israel; exploring textiles in Lodz, Poland; attending a residency at Haystack Mountain School of Crafts in Maine; creating a collaborative sculpture for Galion Hospital and one at Central Wyoming College; and curating several group exhibitions. She has shown her work in a variety of places, such as Chicago\u2019s Woman Made Gallery, the Canton Museum of Art, the Brogan Museum in Florida, the Butler Institute of American Art, the Erie Art Museum, the Three Rivers Arts Festival, and internationally in The Western Galilee, Israel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

ARTIST STATEMENT<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Working in the studio is a collaboration with and a tugging between ideas and materials. I have form ideas, but so do my materials. I have skills and techniques to use, but my materials whisper ways they wish to go. I mediate the dialogue between us and hope to arrive at some place of agreement. If things go too smoothly, I may not be pushing hard enough. If they are impossible, I may be asking too much. Satisfaction comes in the arrival at a place of agreement and resolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my textile sculptures, I am often asking the question, \u201cWhat do we carry through life, and how does that affect us?\u201d My sculptures often refer to functional forms used for carrying, such as buckets and luggage. These are containers to be filled and a means of transporting the practical \u201cstuff\u201d needed for many of life\u2019s tasks. The works are often human in scale so that they feel familiar and relatable. But they are decidedly not wearable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With these artworks, I explore the ways in which we carry our loads\u2014with grace, strength, and hope.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
