Women In Steel is an exhibition investigating how four artists use steel to influence the creation of various artworks. This material exemplifies strength and references the industry. These four artists have created a diverse range of works interpreting the use of steel in different ways. The artists have pushed the limits of the material both physically and conceptually creating works that exemplify strength, delicacy, and nod to the steel industry. The artists interpret the use of steel from a feminine perspective.
This exhibition is guest curated by artist Katie Hovencamp. Katie Hovencamp received her BFA from Arizona State University in 2009 and her MFA from the Pennsylvania State University in 2014. Hovencamp has exhibited her work in numerous exhibitions within the United States, Europe, and Asia.
Her work has been reviewed in Sculpture Magazine, Chicago Reader, and several online and print publications. She was the recipient of the Outstanding Student Achievement Award for Contemporary Sculpture in 2014 and the University Graduate Fellowship at the Pennsylvania State University in 2012. Hovencamp has participated in residency programs at Vermont Studio Center, Serde Interdisciplinary artist group in Latvia, and the Tyrone Guthrie Centre in Ireland.
