Yield: Works by Kimberly English
2026-02-05 16:00 - 18:00 (America/Denver) | Edward A. Whitney Gallery, 1 Whitney Way, Sheridan, WY, 82801, United States
Artist Talk & Opening Reception on Thursday, February 5th. Talk at 4 p.m., opening reception at 5 p.m.
Yield is a solo exhibition by Kimberly English that examines the relationship between rest and productivity within the rhythms of rural America. Featuring a selection of woven and quilted textiles, the exhibition draws from natural cycles – growth and dormancy, abundance and depletion – as metaphors for the human condition under systems of labor and devotion.
Through processes that are both repetitive and contemplative, English interrogates the moral weight historically placed on work and its entanglement with ideas of piety, purpose, and value. The title evokes multiple meanings: the act of giving way, the measure of production, and the spiritual surrender embedded in agrarian and religious traditions. In tension between these readings, the works invite viewers to consider how cycles of making and resting might resist capitalist imperatives and instead align with a slower, cyclical wisdom of the land.
About:
Expanding upon her undergraduate textiles education from Savannah College of Art and Design, Kimberly English (b. 1994) earned her MFA from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill as a Carolina Digital Humanities Fellow in 2018. Kimberly has been awarded residencies at the McColl Center, Woodstock Byrdcliffe Artist Colony, Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, Penland School of Craft, Berea College, and The Gibbes Museum. Her work has been featured in various publications including The New York Times, Burnaway, and Design Milk.
English’s fiber-based practice explores the connection between the individual and the collective through historical, personal, and perceptual interrogations of textile structure. Her woven and sewn forms synthesize narratives informed by the American South and globalized labor, investigating the nuance of interdependence between land, machines, people, and the objects they create. Her work has been exhibited widely and internationally, recently at the Spartanburg Art Museum, New Bedford Art Museum, the Delaware Contemporary, the Ackland Museum, Vox Populi, CICA Museum, and the Museum of Craft and Design. Kimberly was the ’24-‘25 Emerging Artist Fellow in Fiber at Virginia Commonwealth University and runs a weaving residency, Tabby Studio, out of the shared studio space on her property in Canton, North Carolina.

Called “contemporary chamber trailblazers” by the Boston Globe, Hub New Music is a “prime mover of piping hot 21st century repertoire” (Washington Post). Founded in 2013, the Detroit-based ensemble has commissioned dozens of new works for its distinctive ensemble of flute, clarinet, violin, and cello. Hub’s “nimble quartet of winds and strings” (NPR) actively collaborates with today’s most celebrated composers on projects that traverse today’s rich musical landscape.
Recent and upcoming performances include concerts presented by the Kennedy Center, Seattle Symphony, Morgan Library, Suntory Hall (Tokyo), the Williams Center for the Arts, Cynthia Woods Mitchell Center, King’s Place (London), Soka Performing Arts Center, Arizona Friends of Chamber Music, and the Celebrity Series of Boston.
Upcoming projects include a substantial new electroacoustic piece by Daniel Wohl inspired by UFO-sightings, called Mirage; a work inspired by the history of Black Mountain College by Yaz Lancaster; a new electroacoustic commission by longtime collaborator Christopher Cerrone that samples the sounds of crosswalks from across the world; and a song-cycle collaboration with composer, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist Bora Yoon.
Hub New Music’s recordings have garnered consistent acclaim. The group’s most recent record with Silkroad’s Kojiro Umezaki, a distance, intertwined, features five works for Hub and Shakuhachi which I Care if You Listen called “beautiful, haunting music that presents a clear and authentic dialog between varied cultural paradigms and traditions.” Hub’s debut album, Soul House, released on New Amsterdam Records, was called “ingenious and unequivocally gorgeous” (Boston Globe) and “intensely poignant.” (Textura) In 2022, Hub’s album with Carlos Simon, Requiem for the Enslaved, was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Classical Composition.
Hub is dedicated to educating, inspiring and guiding future generations of artists. The ensemble has been a guest at Princeton University, University of Michigan, University of Southern California, Indiana University, among many other institutions. In 2021, Hub was a resident ensemble for the Los Angeles Philharmonic’s Nancy and Barry Sanders Composer Fellowship program for high school aged composers. As part of its 10th anniversary celebration, Hub designed a fellowship program with the Luna Lab in NYC that was awarded to Luna Lab alumna Sage Shurman.
Hub New Music is Michael Avitabile (flutes), Gleb Kanasevich (clarinets), Meg Rohrer (violin/viola), and Jesse Christeson (cello). Currently based in Detroit, Hub New Music is exclusively represented by Unfinished Side.
