EXHIBITION OPENINGKUCHINSKI & STOIBER: Form & Fiber
Thursday, August 21, 5-7pm
FREE & OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
Join us at the USF Art Gallery for an evening filled with art, conversation, and light refreshments! Explore the latest exhibition, meet the artists behind the work, and enjoy some tasty bites while connecting with fellow art enthusiasts.
A little bit about the exhibit: This dynamic exhibition brings together the evocative ceramic and mixed media work of Marina Kuchinski and the intricate woven forms of Peg Stoiber, a USF alumna, in a dialogue of material, body, and narrative.
Kuchinski’s sculptures explore the intersections of animality, humanity, and objecthood—inviting viewers to question boundaries between species, and social constructs. Her figurative forms, deeply rooted in post humanist and feminist ecological thought, provoke reflection on empathy, transformation, and the shared vulnerability of living beings.
In contrast, Stoiber’s handwoven textiles celebrate the tactile beauty of fiber, informed by decades of exploration in color, pattern, and structure. Her work draws inspiration from natural forms and life’s personal milestones, combining technical mastery with a curiosity about texture and dimensionality.
Together, Form & Fiber invites us to see the poetic possibilities of material—whether clay or thread—and the complex human experiences they hold.
The exhibition is on display August 21 – October 7, 2025
