Summer Exposure Session 5

Link & Pin is pleased to present the Summer Exposure 2025 – Session 5 featuring artists Rachel Morgan, Carlie Pearson, Amy Xin, and Christie Stockstill. Exhibition dates: August 22-August 31 Opening Reception: Saturday, August 23, 5-7 Regular gallery hours for the summer: Friday - Sunday, 1-5 Rachel Morgan from Huckynori Studios is a stained glass artist based in Austin, Texas. Rachel’s art incorporates humor and whimsy into nostalgic and popular themes. Amy Xin is an oil painter based in Austin, Texas. Her work is shaped by a deep fascination with Americana and consumerism, explored through the lens of her Chinese-American upbringing. Her work is instantly recognizable through its vivid colors and hand-painted text, echoing the charm of vintage advertisements. Christie Stockstill’s work combines technology—including an iPhone, digital camera, and post-production software— with a more physical, analog approach. That might mean completely wrapping a piano (and her husband) in yarn for a photograph or pulling the pages out of hymnals and pasting in the prayers she wants to see in them. She sews, cuts, and glues, builds props, and makes sets and clothing, not only to use in creating the work, but often as part of an installation. Though the work is ultimately the result of lengthy and obsessive thoughts on a subject, in the making of it, she relishes opportunities for experimentation and play. Her work has been shown in group and solo shows and hangs in the homes of collectors around the world. She lives and works in Austin, Texas. Carlie Pearson is a mixed media artist, sculptor, writer, curator, and art Installer based in Austin. Texas. She likes to take junk, stuff that we take for granted, pass over during our journey, and transform it into a story of an internal landscape that may represent personal struggle- Art Therapy 101. She’s interested in creating a dialogue about psychological underpinnings that are not necessarily always pretty. She works in order to explore and give solid form to her feelings. She sometimes writes to clarify her intentions and her words make their way into her pieces also. Pearson says “I work because I must. If the viewer has a reaction, my work is a success.”
