Creature Comforts
Karina Howard

Jan 13 - 17, 2026

Gallery 2B

undergraduate exhibitor

The artist offers, "Filled with textiles objects, illustrations, drapery, and soft interior lighting, this exhibition transforms the gallery into a familiar, intimate space, evoking a bedroom. The walls are adorned with a collection of hand-made textiles, illustrations and other artworks related to the development of my upcoming costume collection, 'Creature Comforts.' This body of work explores themes of neurodivergence, anxiety, and social ostracization, and is heavily grounded in scrap and secondhand materials."
