Katie Hudnall

Katie Hudnall received her BFA in Sculpture from the Corcoran College of Art & Design and her MFA from Virginia Commonwealth University in Furniture Design/Woodworking.

Her work has been included in many publications and exhibitions including Crafting A Continuum: Rethinking Contemporary Craft, Making A Seat at the Table: Women Transform Woodworking, and in American Craft Magazine’s February/March 2017 issue. Her current show, The Longest Distance Between Two Points, is displayed at the Museum for Art in Wood.

Hudnall lives in Madison, Wisconsin, where she runs the Woodworking and Furniture Program at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. When she’s not teaching, she spends her time making tools for problems both real and imagined.

"I build large furnitural objects from small, rough, discarded bits of wood, sketching pieces together in three dimensions.  I don’t hide connections between parts and I leave traces of the intuitive processes used in making the work. These details become visual patterns and act as a record of the making itself, a map of the time that has gone into assembling and imbuing dumpster-rescued materials with worth through care and labor." - From the Artist
