RISING Arrowhead Artist Exhibition | September

This exhibition brings together the work of Sue Rauschenfels, a mixed media painter from Duluth, Minnesota, and Emily Wick, a tapestry weaver based in Grand Marais, Minnesota. Rauschenfels’s layered compositions combine paint, texture, and movement to create richly worked surfaces that feel both intuitive and deliberate. Her work explores abstraction, memory, and the passage of time, inviting viewers to uncover meaning within each layered mark. Wick’s handwoven tapestries offer a tactile counterpart, where color, structure, and material come together through slow, deliberate process. Rooted in tradition yet distinctly contemporary, her work emphasizes texture and pattern while reflecting a deep connection to place. Together, Rauschenfels and Wick create a dialogue between gesture and structure, surface and thread—highlighting the beauty of process and the expressive potential of material.
