Nalani Stolz
Nalani Stolz is a sculptor and performance artist based in the Midwest. Through materials that shift and change over time, Nalani explores how it feels to inhabit the body. Her material processes come out of the domestic skills learned in childhood, and all the tenderness and labor these daily tasks carry. From 2014-2018, she founded and directed The Birdsell Project, an arts organization and residency program that focuses on bringing artists into spaces to create site-responsive installations. Nalani has created her own site-specific installations through Brickscape Residency, The Birdsell Project, The Ohio State University and The Columbus Printed Arts Center. Along with her installations, Nalani has shown her sculptural work at Woman Made Gallery, The South Bend Museum of Art, What Gallery, and Urban Arts Space. Nalani received her BA in Sculpture at Whitman College and her MFA in Sculpture from The Ohio State University.
