Smallärt Shows 2025

Becky Sims
"The Cape" 
Acrylic on wood
2025

$175.00

Becky Sims, a Minneapolis-based artist and graphic designer, finds colorful inspiration in the simple and ordinary — exploring how vibrant even the smallest everyday moment can be. She hopes to spark curiosity and encourage mindfulness, inviting others to slow down and appreciate the beauty in what we might typically overlook. About "The Cape": While she now calls Minneapolis home she will always be nostalgic for the smell of tea roses along the beach mixed with salt and warm cedar forests from childhood summers in Cape Cod — vivid memories from growing up in New England.

Chris Rackley
Sales Floor

Wood, paper, polystyrene, foam, fabric, inkjet prints, paint 

2023

Chris Rackley is an interdisciplinary artist based in Prior Lake, MN who combines digital and analog media to explore memory and narrative. Rackley is a 2024 McKnight Visual Arts Fellow and his solo exhibition “No Place Like This” opens at the Tweed Museum in Duluth, MN in June 2025.

During his childhood in the 1980s and 90s, Rackley’s family was periodically relocated across South Carolina and Georgia by his father’s employer, a shoe company operating retail stores in shopping malls. While his father worked, Rackley hid in the stockrooms and played in a make-believe world made of cardboard and drawings. 

The work on view is a replica of a corner of one of the stores managed by Rackley’s father. All details, including the wallpaper and shopping bag designs, are re-created by hand based on the very few photographs the artist has from that period.

Alex & Moss
of Deathcap Crochet

Transcendence
Acrylic yarn, brass jewelers wire, duct tape
2025
$135.00

As a BIPOC, queer, disabled artist, I use my art to show a voice I may otherwise not have, or a perspective that might be overlooked. I believe all art is political whether it is intended to be or not, and the world and art community cannot exist without a minority presence.

Lydia Hansen
Stump Life 2
Fiber art, wood. 
2024

$100

Lydia Hansen is a fiber artist based in Rochester and creating art around SE MN. Her work is driven by curiosity and exploration of texture and color through yarn. Across the last 5 years, she's been intrigued by the way crochet's 3D qualities can mimic shapes and patterns found in nature and draws inspiration from much of her work from things she's seen or touched. Although crochet and textile art are her primary mediums, she also draws on art forms such as painting, woodworking and collage to challenge conventional ideas of what crochet can be.

Stump Life 2 is inspired by fungi and lichen growths the artist studied in preparation for her ongoing public art installation near Chatfield, MN, the Lost Creek Fungi Hunt. This piece captures fungi life in miniature form on a foraged tree stump. Find shelf fungus, brown-capped mushrooms, and two kinds of lichen.
