Grace Brogan Chinook Winds Double head broom
- Description
- Artist Info
Grace Brogan is an artist and broom maker practicing at the intersection of traditional craft and contemporary design. She graduated with a BA in Studio Arts and English. Then went on to receive an MS in interdisciplinary Environmental Studies.
Simultaneously, she spent the last 15 years learning technique from craftspeople across the country in the mediums of fiber, ceramics, and wood and prioritized her study with broom makers.
Grace employs familiar household forms while also expanding into sculptural pieces that speak to those domestic items through the lens of texture and pattern found most frequently in wild places, contrasting the subdued earth tones of broomcorn (a variety of sorghum used in traditional broom making) and wood with subtle pops of color in her woodfired ceramics and woven cordage. The materials invite viewers to reflect on the items that surround our everyday lives as well as those that may be conspicuously absent and to consider the lines between labor and ritual, art and craft, home and nature, handmade and industrial.
Grace spends her time maintaining a studio practice and loving on her family. When she’s not in her garage workshop, you can usually find her on the trails and rivers surrounding Missoula.
