Mindy Solomon is pleased to present a visual conversation between Zoë Buckman, Amber Cowan, and Brittany Fanning at the Dallas Art Fair, booth C10. Spanning a range of media — including painting, textile, and glass — each artist explores intimacy and interiority through a distinctly feminine lens.

Amber Cowan’s practice centers on the rejuvenation of recycled, found, and donated American pressed glass. Working primarily with “cullet,” the discarded remnants of industrial glass production, Cowan sources material from defunct factories across the country. Through labor-intensive processes such as flame-working and glassblowing, she remelts each shard, transforming fragments of the past into intricate, luminous sculptural forms. Her works are both delicate and densely composed, evoking preservation, memory, and quiet resilience.

Brittany Fanning constructs dense, moody interiors alongside lush, immersive garden scenes. Drawing inspiration from domestic spaces — particularly the intimate glimpses offered by open houses — she examines how individuals curate their environments. Her gardens, similarly composed, reflect a tension between control and natural overgrowth. For Fanning, the garden becomes a site of solace and restoration, where beauty persists even in times of uncertainty.

Zoë Buckman’s multidisciplinary practice spans sculpture, textiles, ceramics, photography, and large-scale public installations. Grounded in an explicitly feminist framework, her work interrogates identity, trauma, and gendered violence, challenging conventional perceptions of vulnerability and strength. Buckman frequently employs objects laden with gendered symbolism: boxing gloves suggest aggression and masculinity, while vintage textiles — lingerie, dishcloths, and table linens — evoke domestic intimacy and the female body. Through these juxtapositions, she reclaims and recontextualizes narratives of power and fragility.
