Tenee’ Hart
Tenee’ Hart is an 'unconventional' fiber sculpture artist pursuing themes of feminism that delve into topics of beauty, anatomy, and the inequality of women. Wrapped fibers, gushing forms, and the manipulation of the ‘everyday’ are crucial components within Hart’s works. Her abstract forms remain committed to an intriguing physicality that comes from palpable and intentional material usage. Hart hails from Virginia, where she received her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Mary Washington in 2011. Later, Hart earned her Masters of Fine Arts degree from Florida State University, where she has been teaching, at the college level, since the completion of her degree in 2015. Hart is currently the Co-Head of the Online Distance Learning (ODL) program and Lead Fibers Instructor for FSU | Department of Art. Beyond her role as an educator, Hart is the sole Graduate Advisor + Coordinator for the Department of Art at Florida State University.
We’re taught that beauty is skin deep - as if the surface were nothing more than a superficial gloss, as if it didn’t carry the weight of being seen.
But the skin remembers.
It absorbs every expectation, every comparison, every soft or sharp word, accumulating a fervent longing - the longing to be more, or simply enough.
In skin deep, Tenee’ Hart navigate this thin membrane between vulnerability and performance. Turning to the materials closest to these closed-door rituals, the quiet witnesses of perfection and erasure - acts that shape how we are seen and how we learn to see ourselves. These materials come from domestic spaces - where expectations of femininity settle like a film of dust. I choose to unravel them, distort them, and in that undoing, they are pushed to a point where they strain against their own histories.
