About My Work<\/strong><\/p>\n My background is in printmaking. I use the medium to create repetitive patterns, often derived from nature, that I then piece together to create large, wall-sized works, installations, or objects. I’m consciously borrowing from traditional craft \u2014 handicrafts, quilting, basket making, fabric weaving \u2014 and I’m interested in the synthesis of craft and home and life and art. More recently, my practice has also grown to include participatory projects often centered around food, drawing and games. These projects include Karaoke Truck, a box truck turned pop-up karaoke lounge featuring homemade videos, PROGI<\/a>, an art-bingo-pierogi dinner series at the Polish National Catholic Church in Greenpoint and ZAZAZA<\/a>, a Global Pizza Conference in Berlin, and seek to foster community while exploring notions of hospitality and exchange.\u00a0You can view more of my work at strycker.net<\/a> and contact me at thestrycker@gmail.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n “Ebb and Flow” “Philosophy on the Way to Ecology” “PROGI” “PROGI” “ZAZAZA” “ZAZAZA” <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Proposal for WW9: MIXT TAPES | MIX TAPES<\/strong><\/p>\n The project will bring together food and music, and culminate in the production of an artistbook \/zine that includes images and recipes of the tapes overlaid with lyrics from songs used in the tapes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hello.

<\/a>I originally hail from Metuchen, New Jersey, and I currently dwell and have a studio in the Greenpoint neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY. In between, I’ve lived and worked in Manhattan, San Francisco, Rome, Philadelphia and Jersey City. I have a BA in Visual Arts from Columbia University, an MFA from Tyler School of Art and have taught at Temple University, Columbia University and the School of Visual Arts, where I am also the Director of Operations for the MFA Art Practice program. I’ve done residencies at ArtPod Berlin, The Women’s Studio Workshop and the Vermont Studio Center, a fellowship with Createquity, and have received grants from the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation, FIGMENT, and the Action Arts League.\u00a0I’m not a particularly fast runner, but I am proud to have run eight marathons and completed one triathlon. In my free time, I enjoy gardening, cooking, spinning, spontaneous kitchen dance parties, scrabble and karaoke.<\/p>\n
