January Wild Gallery : A Common Thread

Igor GLushkin, Chloe McGreal, and Hannah Slagell – A Common Thread

A Common Thread connects three different artists and three different mediums into one cohesive message, where bodies, materials, and narratives fold into personal experience and process describe a story of intimate and speculative experiences.

Igor Glushkin is a digital illustrator based in Columbus. Using his digital forms, he creates characters of fantasy, a futuristic world, and and emotion. He uses his love for sci-fi and horror movies to inspire his artworks.

Chloe McGreal, a recent graduate of The Ohio State University, is a feminist interdisciplinary artist. Rooted in an exploration of girlhood, sisterhood, womanhood, and illness, her work navigates the intimate and complicated spaces of female experience. Her use of thrifted and recycled materials draws to the history of women’s crafts.

Hannah Slagell, another recent graduate of The Ohio State University, is a ceramicist based in Columbus. She experiments with various materials and techniques in the ceramic studio. Her work focuses on the movement of the clay and how to bring it to life. She treats clay as a fabric that can fold, move, and contort.
