CODY CRISWELL-BADILLO
Elk City, Oklahoma – Writing Studio
Cody Criswell-Badillo is a composer, percussionist, and guitarist. His music is informed by his experiences growing up in rural southwestern Oklahoma, the ten years he spent roughnecking in the oilfields of Texas and the Midwest, and the collision of his self-taught musical beginnings with his conservatory education. All of his music deals with the American Southwest, the working class, rural poverty, and his complicated attitude toward his Texas cowboy, Tejano, and indigenous Mexican heritage. He has collaborated with Alarm Will Sound, Victory Players, the OMNIBUS Ensemble, the Baltimore Guitar Duo, and Duo Avanzando, among others. Recent projects include commissions for the Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) of the Johns Hopkins University and the National Music Teachers Association.
In Corsicana Cody will work on a large project titled A Rural Requiem for chamber ensemble and projections that will use the Baptist hymnal, traditional cowboy songs, and other frontier ballads to explore issues of rural poverty, rural suicide, and the other diseases of despair. Projections will draw from his family photo albums of farm life, growing up in Oklahoma trailer parks on Route 66, and Dust Bowl photos from the WPA. www.codycriswell.com

KEIRAN BRENNAN HINTON
Toronto, Ontario, Canada – 3rd Floor Studio
Keiran Brennan Hinton’s practice primarily focuses on observational painting, which centers on color and captures seemingly private and personal moments nevertheless rooted in specific art historical references. Keiran Brennan Hinton received his BFA from Pratt Institute and his MFA from Yale University. His work has been the subject of recent solo exhibitions in New York, Tokyo, and Toronto. Furthermore, he has actively shown in institutional exhibitions, most recently at the Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto. His work has appeared in publications such as House and Home Magazine, Macleans, Forbes, and Sharp Magazine and he was listed among Artnet’s "5 Artists to Watch" in 2021.
During his residency, Keiran plans to make an extensive series of single-sitting, small-scale plein air works that record the shifting light as it moves throughout the studio and living space. Concurrently, a series of studies of the surrounding architecture will pay close attention to the historical elements of Corsicana and the way time can be seen on the surfaces of the spaces we live in and around. In the residency’s second half, he will execute a series of large-scale panoramic paintings of the views out of the studio's windows at all times of day (and night). The dichotomy between the interior plein air work and the surrounding landscape and architecture mirrors a common theme in his practice and notions of external experiences versus interiority and self-reflection. keiranbrennanhinton.com
About the Color of the Moon, 2023
KATIE HUDNALL
Madison, Wisconsin – 2nd Floor Studio
Katie Hudnall is an artist, woodworker, and Associate Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she runs the Woodworking & Furniture Program. She earned a BFA in Sculpture from the Corcoran College of Art in Washington, DC and an MFA in Woodworking/Furniture Design from Virginia Commonwealth University. Katie makes other-worldly, interactive, furnitural objects intended to solve problems, both real and imagined.
During her time at 100W, Katie will explore and respond to the architecture of the building and its surrounding landscape, using a new environment to help explore new forms and processes. Her work employs salvaged materials, so inspiration will also come from treasures sourced on-site. She will be actively working on pieces destined for an exhibition at the Museum for Art in Wood in Philadelphia, which explore what it means to find and cultivate joy in a time of difficult global shifts and uncertainty. katiehudnall.com
