Her most recent show Greetings from the Regenerative Aesthetics Playground presents fiber sculptures and installation by artist Tina Linville. Working with materials that carry visible histories, from found fragments to handcrafted textiles and objects shaped by prior use, Linville constructs a dynamic ecology of renewal where play guides the act of making and creativity becomes a generative force. The exhibition invites viewers to consider how processes of reuse, improvisation, and material transformation can model hopeful, regenerative ways of engaging with the world.
