Cadence Giersbach
Cadence Giersbach’s sewn, kite-shaped paintings and paper pulp sculptures combine living forms with geological and astronomical motifs. She draws inspiration from her garden in the Catskills, expanding outward to the ecological, earthly, and cosmic. Her work has been featured in solo shows in NYC at Satchel Projects, Roebling Hall, and Deitch Projects. Group shows include MoMA PS1, Museo Tamayo in Mexico City, and the Brooklyn Museum. She has received grants from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation and New York Foundation for the Arts and is a MacDowell Fellow. Giersbach’s work has been commissioned by Arts for Transit, MTA and Percent for Art, NYC and is in the collections of the Buffalo AKG Art Museum, Harvard University, and the RISD Museum. Her work has been featured in The New York Times, The New Yorker, and Art Forum. Giersbach earned a BA from Vassar College, an MFA from Rutgers University, and attended the Skowhegan School.
