She combines found and discarded fabrics to create intuitive compositions, each designed to help us consider attentive ways of approaching intimate and societal relationships. Her work explores abstract ideas of cooperation, release and interdependence while celebrating a life rooted in small and large acts of care.<\/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 Cayla Skillin-Brauchle prior to the installation of&nbsp;<em>Malleable Shield<\/em>.&nbsp;Take a listen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/theartscenter.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Skillin-Brauchle_interview_mixdown.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Artist<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.caylaskillin-brauchle.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cayla Skillin-Brauchle<\/a> believes art has the capacity to allow us to envision and practice life meaningfully.&nbsp; Her artwork and performance art pieces have been in over 100 exhibitions across the world.
