Originally from Detroit, Michigan, Marianne Hall received a BFA in Fibers from Wayne State University. Her practice has been shaped by time spent living and working in the Detroit area, in Toronto, and since 2011, New Mexico. A seasoned traveler, she currently lives in Albuquerque and maintains a studio at the Harwood Art Center.  Her work can be seen this year at the New Mexico Museum of Art - Vladem Contemporary Window Box Project. 

Statement
 

With a sensitivity to thread, texture, and fiber-based materials, my work explores human connection and the quiet tension between chaos and harmony. I've developed an artistic language informed by nature’s rhythms and an underlying sense of interconnectedness. In my recent body of work, porcelain and glass become a central material, extending my fiber-based practice through its shared qualities of fragility, structure, and resilience. My abstract forms, shaped by travel and personal experience, invite reflection on impermanence, memory, and the beauty found in imperfection. My installation work continues to be an important part of my practice.
