Marie Baldwin (b. 1994) is an interdisciplinary artist based in Chicago. She graduated with a BFA from The School of The Art Institute in 2017, and has shown work at The Chicago Artists Coalition, Comfort Station, LVL3 Gallery, The Sullivan Galleries, ACRE Projects, Hyde Park Art Center, Co-Prosperity Sphere and dfbrl8r Gallery. Her work most often takes shape as large-scale sewn fabric collages and explores themes of intimacy, sexuality and the body. By manipulating found photographs taken from the lexicon of mid-century pop culture through drawing, sculpture and sewing, she seeks to create new context for seemingly antiquated images. Utilizing dramatic shifts in scale and seductive materials, she investigates how desire is expressed and understood both romantically and platonically.
