Chaos Contemporary Craft Presents: Teresa Audet, Containing and Being Contained
October 10 – November 21, 2025, 78 N High St, Columbus, OH 43215
Opening Reception: Friday, October 10, 5-8pm

[Columbus, Ohio] — Chaos Contemporary Craft is pleased to present Containing and Being Contained, a solo exhibition of new works by Pittsburgh-based artist and woodworker Teresa Audet, on view from October 10 through November 21, 2025.

Teresa Audet’s playful explorations in wood and rattan reed celebrate containment not as limitation, but as nurturing, connection, and belonging. Deeply rooted in the tradition of woodworking and craft arts, her work carries a warmth and authenticity that feels simultaneously familiar and fresh.

With a background in furniture building and design, Audet’s sculptural forms in wood and woven rattan reed are full of intimate textures and technical details. Often resembling a figurative form, each piece embodies a sensitivity to both material and creative expression.

About the Artist
Teresa Audet is an artist and educator based in Pittsburgh, PA. With a background in furniture making with a focus on hand tools and fine craft, she combines woodworking, basketry, and papermaking in her studio practice. Her work approaches object-making as a meditative and transformative act, centering joy, play, and resilience.

Audet grew up in Minnesota and received a BFA in Furniture Design from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design in 2011 and an MFA from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 2023.

Trunk Show with Heather Guidero Jewelry

Friday, Dec 5, 5-8pm

Saturday, Dec 6, 12-3pm

Chaos Contemporary Craft is proud to bring nationally reknowned jewelry artist Heather Guidero to Columbus, Ohio. Please join us for this Trunk Show event to meet the artist and view her exquisite collection of contemporary jewelry.

Formally trained at RISD, Heather worked as a goldsmith for renowned jewelry company Reinstein/Ross in New York before returning to Providence, Rhode Island to launch her namesake collection in 2005. Her interest in using line to render drawings three-dimensionally results in unique explorations of volume, movement, and pattern that transform into personal and interactive sculpture on the body.

The graphic lines, textures, and patterns of her work are inspired by elements of modernist design, fashion, and urban architecture translated into ethically-sourced gold and silver. Select pieces are accented by brilliant diamonds or colorful gemstones. Innately wearable, Heather’s collection boldly accentuates your personal style, her considerations of natural movement enabling the jewelry to come alive when worn.

Her work has been featured at prominent museums and galleries across the country including the Museum of Modern Art (San Francisco, CA), DeNovo (Palo Alto, CA), and Jewelerswerk (Washington DC). Every piece in Heather’s collection is constructed and finished by hand in her Providence studio.
