This exhibition highlights those who wield their creativity through welding and fabrication to inspire greater diversity within the trade. We explore the avenues by which women and fem fabricators ideate, collaborate, and find their creative footing within this space. Featured artist Heather Dawn Sparks uses her metal fabrication expertise to create intentional space for other fem fabricators to learn the craft. Sparks uses metal as a primary foundation for her art and interweaves paper cutout design to create a beautiful balance between soft and hard form as she explores the interplay between light and shadow. Emerging and seasoned regional metal artists exhibit alongside her to delve into the sparks of connection made through creative collaboration.
