"A Million Miles Away" Solo Exhibition by Kaylie Kaitschuck On View at Goldfinch Gallery
Kaylie Kaitschuck, Fishing From the Moon.
A Million Miles Away, a solo exhibition by Michigan-born and based artist Kaylie Kaitschuck (MFA Fiber 2021), is currently on view at Goldfinch Gallery, in Chicago, IL.
Like a stickered skateboard or a backpack embellished with patches and pins, Kaitschuck’s embroideries balance the immediacy of everyday life with a nostalgic nod to the past. Each of her vivid dreamscapes is loaded with familiar symbols (suns, moons, animals) and iconography from popular culture to negotiate complicated desires to escape, shake loose old identities, and transcend familiar surroundings.
Her works take their inspiration from memory, familiar surroundings, and daydreams of being elsewhere. Kaitschuck explains that the works “become my own versions of maps or postcards. They hold no real navigational route or reference to a specific place but my own. These are an archive of thought, routine, and familiarity.”
A Million Miles Away will be on view in Goldfinch’s East Wing through July 22, 2023.
