Kiva Motnyk—Art Exhibition

Troutbeck is pleased to present in collaboration with Object & Thing, a solo exhibition of fiber-based wall works by New York artist Kiva Motnyk!

Motnyk spent time at Troutbeck during the summer months, collecting botanical materials from the property’s extensive gardens and partnering with chef Vincent Gilberti to re-purpose vegetable matter, such as onion skins, from the kitchen in order to make natural dyes for the works.

The opening events on September 27 will include a public artist’s talk with Lauren Cornell, Artistic Director at the Center…
