About the Color of the Moon, 2023
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which centers on color and captures seemingly private and personal moments nevertheless rooted in specific art historical references.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, Kieran 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

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 100 W, 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 of 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
MICHAELA CAVANAGH
Berlin, Germany – Writing Studio
Michaela Cavanagh is a Canadian writer based in Berlin. Her work focuses on questions of place, belonging, and loss in a warming world. Her writing has appeared in outlets such as The Atlantic, The London Review of Books online, the Los Angeles Review of Books, Die Zeit, The Globe and Mail and LitHub. A second-year MFA candidate of creative nonfiction at the University of King’s College in Halifax, Nova Scotia, she is at work on a book of literary reportage about the emotional landscape of the climate crisis.
In Corsicana, Michaela will work on her book, tentatively titled Present Tense: How We Reckon With the End of the World. Weaving reportage with memoir and travelogue with criticism, the work holds a mirror up to the distractions, defense mechanisms, survival strategies and mourning rituals we use to cope with the climate crisis. michaelacavanagh.com
