Aleisha Fitz, Polly Pocket

Swing by the house to see Aleisha Fitz’s work in progress in the studio. Then at 6:30, you’re invited into the living room for a presentation by the artist. Beverages and snacks will be served on the porch.

Aleisha Fitz (b. 1988) is a multi-disciplinary artist born in Colorado, USA. Composing primarily in sculpture, her work engages figuratively and dimensionally while exploring themes of the natural sublime, home and the human animal, and the dual realities of strength and fragility. Using tactile and elemental mediums ranging from metal and wood to fiber and clay, her methods emphasize process, examine assumptions of scale, and contrast linear structures with organic forms. Her gentle and sometimes playful approach is world-building, implying movement through light, balance, and form. Since 2021, Fitz has resided in Mexico City. Her work features in various national and international collections.
