Animal Landscapes - Solo Exhibition
Hemmings Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition by fiber artist Kristina Foley, whose large-scale felted works invite viewers into lush, tactile landscapes that shift between the familiar and the fantastical. Using raw wool, combed Merino, and wild silks, Foley continues her deep exploration of feltmaking—an ancient, transformative craft. Her carefully chosen materials engage the senses and highlight the origins and slow processes that shape each piece.
For this exhibition, Foley combines wool from a flock of endangered Navajo-Churro sheep near her Western Oregon home with fine Merino from Shaniko Wool Company. This pairing opens a dialogue about the cultural legacy and sustainable future of wool in the American West, a conversation deeply connected to Sun Valley’s own centuries-long tradition of sheep ranching.

Wild Thresholds
Wild Thresholds invites viewers to contemplate the shifting boundaries between the built and the natural, the domesticated and the wild, the remembered and the reimagined. This group show focuses on works that collectively embody reverence for the living species and raw materials while challenging the viewer to reconsider what preservation, coexistence and transformation look like in this era of climate change and urban sprawl.
