Fall 2025 Visiting Artist Colloquium

Kirstin Willders (she/her) is a multi-disciplinary artist and teaching-artist originally trained in wheel-thrown, functional pottery, her studio practice is rooted in clay and expands into sculpture, glass, light, and mixed materials that create a distinct visual vernacular. Her work employs coded language and queer cultural lexicon to create sculptural installations with one foot in historical foundations and another facing towards utopia.
