BakerBrew is composed of Maddie Baker and Ella Brew, two multimedia artists who met while studying at Bennington College. They operate at the intersection of sculpture and design, drawing on technical backgrounds in ceramics, painting, animation, and sewing.
Their collaboration is defined by shared interests in image systems, infrastructure, and collection.
BakerBrew’s materials consist of gathered fragments of structural and visual systems found in nature, technology, and city. Their practice in the studio involves interventions–imitation, reordering, distortion, destruction—acts that allow for both a disruption of the power embedded within these gathered systems and an exploration of the aesthetic. BakerBrew seeks an innate beauty in these everyday and/or mass-produced sources as a form of survival within the increasingly inescapable constructed world.
