Curated by the gallery’s program manager, Haley Finnegan, the show opens Thursday, June 29, with an opening reception from 5 to 7 p.m., and runs through Aug. 12. Ranging from the deeply personal to the overtly political, the works in "Home Economics" engage with issues including debates over immigration, changing notions about gender and family roles, and the growth of militant nationalism. Through paintings of intimate interiors, cheeky reinterpretations of domestic artifacts, and various representations of houses, “home” becomes a site for nostalgia, pride, and even anxiety. The included artists are Natalie Baxter, Kim Beck, Laurent Chéhère, David Cuatlacuatl, Rachel Farbiarz, Adia Millett, Danielle Mužina, Nick Naber, Hillel O’Leary and Polly Shindler.

Excited to be a part of an upcoming exhibition, "Dangerously Close to Weaving" at The Rymer Gallery in Nashville curated by Pam Marlene Taylor. The show's title get's it's name from a comment she received from a college professor critiquing her fiber work, "this is good, but it's dangerously close to weaving, and that's not art. It's women's work." 🙃 I love a good spin on a negative comment - pictured, "Clearly Confused V" taken from the comment section of an article about me and my work on Glenn Beck's site, The Blaze "clearly Natalie Baxter is confused about her role as a woman." 💥 exhibition up June 1-30, 2019 @therymergallery curated by @pammarlenetaylor featuring work by @vadisturner @pammarlenetaylor @catiebeththomas @beckydickovitch @aisforavery @janaharper_ @quinnie94 @s.h.collier #dangerouslyclosetoweaving #rymergallery #fiberart #softsculpture #nashvilleart #altcaps

A @plannedparenthood representative called me yesterday asking for a donation and I unexpectedly burst into tears - he put into words all of the articles, posts, and radio stories I had consumed throughout the day about the severity of these new abortion bills. I spent last night with fellow pregnant New York City couples touring the hospital where we will all be delivering babies in a month or so. Being a white, privileged woman, I often have the luxury of feeling fortunate in this country, and sitting in the hospital conference room in the midst of these abortion bans, I thought about how much control I have had over my reproductive decisions that lead me to this moment. I felt fortunate for having moved away from a state, and a region, who's elected officials were trying to restrict my rights. I do not like feeling that I have escaped the south. A quote from Friedrich Hegel, "We learn from history that we do not learn from history" sparked me to take a closer look at civil war iconography a few months ago, (because sometimes, a civil war feels like a place our country could be headed). I found this seal from a confederate envelope with the phrase, "Let Us Alone," words that come from The South's desire to be left alone to start their new country if they successfully seceded from The Union. I immediately thought about women's rights and the role many southern republican men play today in NOT leaving the reproductive decisions of women alone. This piece has been hanging in my studio for months now, but feels slightly more disturbing this week. You already know what to do in this situation - make donations, call your representatives, text screaming gifs and emojis to your women friends who are likely also being triggered, post about it on the internet... but how do we really turn this around? I'm open to hearing all the suggestions. To the women living in states being affected, we see you and we want to help. And men, you're in this fight too, considering you participate in 100% of pregnancies. #keepabortionsafeandlegal #standwithplannedparenthood #mybodymychoice #yourbodyyourchoice #letusalone
