Embroidered textiles and ceramic sculptures encode interspecies narratives such as pollination, the mycorrhizal system, and the life cycles of organisms. Servilio has watched these processes unfolding in her yard, around Portland, and under a microscope, deepening these observations with research from scientific papers, books, and local nature guides. The forms are inspired by Neolithic and Bronze Age artifacts that dissolve boundaries between domestic and sacred, human and non-human spheres. In the intimate space of the Corrine Woodman gallery, visitors can rest, be immersed, and contemplate our interconnectivity with an abundantly animate world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Artist Interview<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>TAC curator, Jennie Castle had the pleasure of catching up with Sharon Servilio prior to the installation of\u00a0<em>Tactile Transmissions<\/em>.\u00a0Take a listen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/theartscenter.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Sharon-S_mixdown.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Artist<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sharon Servilio (she\/her, b. 1983, New Jersey) received her BA from Brandeis University and her MFA from American University, with a focus on painting throughout her education.
