A story about hope and rebirth. Folklore’s inaugural group show explores beauty in all phases of nature’s cycles. We honor the earth in her dormancy, the seeds we plant quietly, and the wild, divine process of unfurling.

JEANNA GIENKE
Jeanna Gienke is a Santa Fe, NM based artist who studies nature through the lens of design.

In 2022, Jeanna opened PITH: a creative studio focusing on arid gardens and biophilic design.
Jeanna’s living installation is focused on the stark beauty of a desert landscape that has evolved to survive the harshest of elements.

Rebecca Mapes is a multidisciplinary artist whose work currently comprises painting, jewelry, collage and glass blowing. Originally from upstate New York, Rebecca has always been drawn to bucolic landscapes and organic shapes. With an emphasis on plants, flowers, stones and shells, she explores the space between form and function, creating pieces that are often playful, and always anchored in the natural affordances of the medium.
“I always tend to think of my glass work in terms of how it relates to space and light in the form of installations, whether that be a table full of glass jewelry displays or tiny vases. The scale of the vases relates back to my experience as a jeweler and my tendency towards the small and intricate. There is something pleasing about an abundance of tiny objects, perhaps it’s just something small creating something more vast. I like thinking of the tiny vases as a mini glass installation, an artwork that can be experienced as a whole, like one would take in a field of wildflowers. My hope is that the vases will be a singular scene to behold, and for some, a treasure to take home that prompts a visceral memory.”

Emelie Richardson’s handwoven works blur the boundaries of traditional craft and painting. In Emelie’s handwoven paintings, chance and improvisation have become integral elements to the laborious process of weaving, in which fluid line and form cannot be easily controlled. Allowing the materials to play a large role in informing the work, Emelie highlights spontaneous subtle shifts in surface texture and tonality. Emelie currently lives and works in Chimayo, New Mexico.

Inspired by Briana’s childhood home in the high desert outside Santa Fe, her collection pays homage to the enchanting, sometimes ghostly beauty of the high desert landscape, a landscape of sagebrush, tumbleweed and Apache plume, of dust, flowering cactus and vast blue skies. Her namesake studio creates emotionally resonant works of art that are digitally adapted for production in the textile, apparel, and surface design industries. The studio now offers an independent line of eco-conscious wallpaper, fabric, and pillows.
