[Bio c. 2011]
Venetia uses processes and techniques of metalsmithing and object making to address issues of production, labor, heritage, and representation. Travels in South America, China, Southeast Asia, and West Africa have influenced the perspective from which she studies and responds to relationships between people and places in the shaping, defining, and reinventing of individual and collective identities. Through the use, translation, and interpretation of ubiquitous and mobile objects, Venetia’s work begins to reclaim the space between what is lost and re-invented in the transformation and evaluation of our material world.
Venetia hails from Madison, Wisconsin (USA), completing her BFA from University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2004 and her MFA from State University of New York at New Paltz in 2009. She currently resides in Milwaukee, Wisconsin teaching as Adjunct Assistant Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
