places we inhabit - is a group exhibition featuring artworks by Elizabeth
Casqueiro, Amy Wickersham, and Erica-Lynn Huberty at Zach Gallery March 8
– May 10, 2025.
Elizabeth Casqueiro is a visual artist who is fascinated by the complex interplay between
nature and the built environment, and the meanings inherent in this connection. Influenced
by her architectural background, Portuguese heritage, and memories of a childhood
surrounded by history, flowers and patterns, she uses the language of color, materiality,
and symbolism to reflect upon the beauty, complexity, and interconnection of the human
and non-human worlds.
Amy Wickersham was born in Chicago. She earned her BFA from Denver University
and studied painting and drawing at the Spannocchia Foundation in Italy. She moved to
New York City in 1990, then has resided in Sag Harbor since 2010. Wickersham has
exhibited in solo and group shows throughout the US and Italy.
Erica-Lynn Huberty is a pioneer in the contemporary fiber arts movement. She
earned her MFA in Painting from Bennington College where she trained with Amy
Sillman and Rochelle Feinstein. Her work mingles textiles and sewing arts
techniques with watercolor and ink, embroidery, crochet and knitting, loom-woven
grounds, mediums overlapping as if done simultaneously, and exploring the
historical tradition of “women’s work.” The process is at once tedious, time-
consuming and physically demanding, as well as a symbol of feminine self-worth.
Sometimes, the narrative is allowed to develop organically from textures and
images on existing textiles, or in segments of her own sketches, scraps of trim,
lace and appliqués, crocheted strands; at other times, a set mythos is constructed
from her own fictional or autobiographical narratives. She is informed by 17th-
19th Century naturalist drawings, her family’s Spanish, Tunisian, Celtic and
Romani needlework traditions, and by environmental and architectural factors,
particularly the fragility of endangered environments, flora and fauna, and
vanishing historically significant sites.
