Join the Museum for Art in Wood for an in-depth conversation with artist Katie Hudnall for her current exhibition The Longest Distance between Two Points. Hudnall makes tools, furniture, and objects that are perfectly suited for a peculiar world. The first museum-organized solo presentation of Hudnall’s unique and captivating work reveals a rare glimpse into the artist’s rich inner world. Here, the absurd and mechanically improbable merge with fine woodworking and salvaged wood materials to bring mechanisms and structures to life and action.

Katie Hudnall received her BFA in Sculpture from the Corcoran College of Art & Design and her MFA from Virginia Commonwealth University in Furniture Design/Woodworking. Hudnall lives in Madison, Wisconsin, where she runs the Woodworking and Furniture Program at the University of Madison, Wisconsin. When she’s not teaching, she spends her time making tools for problems both real and imagined.

Hudnall’s distinctive work is held in public and private collections and has been presented in exhibitions throughout the United States, including Making a Seat at the Table: Women Transform Woodworking (Museum for Art in Wood, 2019). She was a 2016 artist fellow in the Museum’s Windgate International Turning Exchange residency and a 2022 documentary artist fellow in the Windgate Arts Residency Program in Wood (WARP Wood).

This event is free to the public. The Museum for Art in Wood interprets, nurtures, and champions creative engagement and expansion of art, craft, and design in wood to enhance the public’s understanding and appreciation of it. A suggested donation of $5 per person enables us to provide programs and exhibitions throughout the year.
