Exhibition Statement (provided by the artist)
Charlottesville artist Tobiah Mundt is the New City Arts Artist-in-Residence for March-July 2016. Tobiah's work captures and encases her fears and anxieties in sculpted form by exploring different methods of textile art, primarily needle felting. Her most recent body of work, Otherness, is about being OK with not fitting in.
