Wild Goose Creative is proud to present February’s 2026 Wild Gallery exhibition, Holding Shape, featuring Zachary Mahloch and Holley Morris.

This exhibition brings together fiber and sculpture to explore how materials shape form and meaning. Through soft, pliable textiles and solid, dimensional structures, Holley Morris and Zachary Mahloch investigate tension, balance, and transformation. Together, the works create a dialogue between flexibility and permanence, inviting viewers to consider how touch, process, and space inform our experience of objects.

Zachary Mahloch is an artist based in Columbus, Ohio. He was born in Omaha, Nebraska. Adopted at the age of three, and soon after found himself in a separated home, this drove him to find community wherever possible. This led to many sports and a love for the arts. He just recently graduated from The Ohio State University. He has shown his work at the Urban Arts Space and has small works that can be found around the homes of the Heartland. Next up for the young artist is a leap into Grad School.

Holley Morris creates needle felted artwork on linen (embellished with encaustic wax) and felt. Holley, who is self taught, has been needle felting for almost 10 years. She has been featured on WOSU’s Broad and High, and won an Ohio Arts Council Professional Division Award at the Ohio State Fair in 2024. She will be teaching needle felting at Sew to Speak and at the Fran Ryan Center this year.
