In a cross-disciplinary practice, Cat Mailloux's work reaches across textiles, sculpture, and installation, exploring form, identity, and place through fabric-based works. Drawing from a background in sculpture and quilting, Mailloux creates two- and three-dimensional forms that fold, cover, and map space. She uses quilting, garment sewing, and pattern-making techniques with second-hand fabrics to develop textures and color palettes that convey warmth and material history. Acts of wayfinding and demarcation are central to her work, making use of mapping and tracing to mark transitions and the passage of time, familiarizing and defamiliarizing objects, environments, and acts of care. Mailloux is an Assistant Professor of Studio Art at Cedarville University and holds an MFA in Sculpture from Ohio State University. Her work has been exhibited nationally in galleries such as Women Made Gallery (Chicago), Skylab Gallery (Columbus), and Coram Deo Gallery (Omaha). She has attended residencies at Vermont Studio Centers, PADA Studios in Portugal, and Walkaway House in Massachusetts. Mailloux is the recipient of grants from the Greater Columbus Arts Council, Cedarville University, and The Ohio State University. Instagram: @cat.mailloux |
