Carlie Waganer is a collector, weaver, and perpetual novice. The majority of her childhood was spent daydreaming by the reservoir in rural Maryland or burrowed away under the stairs of her childhood home. She received her BFA in Fiber arts from Massachusetts College of Art and Design and her work has been shown at Distillery Gallery, Gallery@ArtBlock, Women's Studio Workshop, Store_Space Gallery, and the Nichols House Museum. Waganer has worked as an administrator at residency centers in Tennessee, New York, and now Nebraska. In her professional life, she considers herself an "artistic administrator", where the support of artists and the realization of their goals are integral to her own artistic fulfillment. Her material practice includes marbling, fabric manipulation, collage, categorizing, coding, weaving, drawing, baking, journaling, and list-making. She is mostly interested in interconnectedness and impermanence, especially between what we consider the physical and digital worlds.
