With funding from Alfred University and the Judson Leadership Center, Egnater assisted Coral Penelope Lambert’s Iron Pour performance at the Industriemuseum in Brandenberg, showed work at Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft (University of Technology and Economics) in Berlin, and built a panel for the conference. The panel, titled Material Pairings: Looking Beyond Dichotomy featured five artists who use cast iron with “other materials”. The panel addressed moments when cast iron is paired with these “other materials” and the conversation often becomes gendered as hard/soft and masculine/feminine. To move beyond this dichotomy, the panel opened the conversation to ideas such as the contextual nature of iron, queering iron, and the inherent fragility of iron. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54274b5de4b0c458e662ecca/32f519b7-e2dd-40e1-9e2a-3dfb948afeae/Website+composite+16-Recovered.jpg Furnaces, Pours, and Workshops - Make it stand out Iron Pour / 2021 While employed at the College for Creative Studies as a Metal Shop and Foundry Technician, Egnater led the reconstruction of a cupolette and organized the Annual Spring Iron Pour. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54274b5de4b0c458e662ecca/18066d2d-3870-451d-af6d-fc603ab0f66a/Website+composite20.jpg Furnaces, Pours, and Workshops - Make it stand out Aluminum Pour / 2019 Photos and Videos by De Peter Yi and Carl Goines In 2019, Egnater collaborated with De Peter Yi, a Walter B.

Over time, this trope has been taken and evolved into a self-deprecating Jewish humor. The cow mask continues this tradition of zoomorphic Jews. However, rather than a self-deprecating humour, it questions unholiness rather than inhumanness. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54274b5de4b0c458e662ecca/22b34187-3c79-4048-a9a7-588958cb4498/Website+composite+5+copy.jpg Blue Milk and Other Short Stories - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54274b5de4b0c458e662ecca/42c701d7-26e8-411e-b528-41537c92c5b8/Full+Costume+Exhibition+copy.jpg Blue Milk and Other Short Stories - Make it stand out Blue Milk and Other Short Stories / 2023 In Blue Milk and Other Short Stories, Egnater engages in a type of world building or alternate history. Blue Milk is an invented product in an invented world; influenced by the mythology of Techelet or “biblical blue”, the moral fable of the golden calf, the 1971 adaptation of Fiddler on the Roof, and the artists own fraught relationship with healthcare. The exhibition explores Blue Milk through costumes, tools, and containers captured through photography, fibers, metal fabrication, and metal casting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54274b5de4b0c458e662ecca/fe9c9183-5414-44d3-9563-64e9dbf2ee7e/Website+composite+6+copy.jpg Blue Milk and Other Short Stories - Make it stand out Milk Cans and Helmet / 2023 / cast aluminum milk cans, 3D printed milk can lids, 3D printed bells, modified helmet In this mixed media work, Egnater is influenced by the forms of Torah Crowns. When not in use, Torah Scrolls are often dressed in different types of adornments such as a mantle cloth, a shield, and/or crowns. The placement of the torah crown plays with the placement of power. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54274b5de4b0c458e662ecca/8fcf8bad-0efb-43c9-ac9c-c68509ac5a1a/fullexhibition2.jpg Blue Milk and Other Short Stories - Make it stand out Blue Milk and Other Short Stories / 2023 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54274b5de4b0c458e662ecca/df350c3c-e4f2-443c-8127-91ec2eee264f/Website+composite+7+copy.jpg Blue Milk and Other Short Stories - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54274b5de4b0c458e662ecca/b0379d80-3f39-4f31-84d1-15cef006f9f2/close+up+tool.jpg Blue Milk and Other Short Stories - Make it stand out Tools / 2023 / cast aluminum hands, cast aluminum torah crown, wood Though they are the size of a staff, the tools mimic the form of a yad. A “yad”, usually the size of a pen, is used as a place marker while reading a Torah scroll. The work moves beyond the traditional pointing hand and introduces the cupping hands. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54274b5de4b0c458e662ecca/93993a7a-e064-40cc-921b-4479ee3c2b54/Website+composite+4.jpg Blue Milk and Other Short Stories - Make it stand out Molten Calf / 2022 / bronze molten calf, titanium dioxide patina The bronze statue dissects the story of the golden calf. The bottom section is modelled from a melting simulation in Blender, while the top features a flipped calf ready to melt. Though named the “golden calf”, the original icon was created from a collection of jewelry and precious items. With this collection of varying metals, an alloy such as bronze, may be a more accurate representation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54274b5de4b0c458e662ecca/47bc03b7-4008-4fda-ae02-d605c1d3fc28/Website+composite+2.jpg Blue Milk and Other Short Stories - Make it stand out Ghillie Suit / 2023 / modified snow ghillie suit, western fringe, jewish ritual fringe The garment is created from the combination of western fringe and Jewish ritual fringe. This combination stems from the immigration story of Nudie Cohn. Cohn was an Eastern European Jew who fled Tsarist Russia. After reinventing himself in Los Angeles, he opened “Nudie’s of Hollywood” and defined the over-the-top western aesthetic seen in his iconic designs for stars such as Elvis Presley and Elton John. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54274b5de4b0c458e662ecca/750e2ad1-e872-4766-bb8b-364bf23bf6f7/website+composite+3.jpg Blue Milk and Other Short Stories - Make it stand out Milk Delivery Suit / 2023 / suit, milk bottles The suit was created as a solution for Tevye, the main character and the town’s dairyman of the 1971 movie adaptation of Fiddler on the Roof. As his life slowly unravels throughout the film, Tevye’s horse goes lame and he decides to pull his dairy delivery cart to continue his business. Egnater was struck by Tevye's choice to physically take the place of a horse and his choice to pull a cart that only held two milk cans. She approached the problem with a solution, one that mimicked a human-centered design approach. http://www.gabrielleegnater.com/other-programbased-works daily 0.75 2023-06-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54274b5de4b0c458e662ecca/2f2d0965-dde3-4585-aa50-d0ffa4cbf67a/Website+24.jpg Other program-based works - Make it stand out Tiles / 2017 / slip cast tiles, matzo, resin, wood https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54274b5de4b0c458e662ecca/ad47e87b-9fad-4136-be7b-c25ccf719f88/Website+composite+25.jpg Other program-based works - Make it stand out Tiles / 2017 / slip cast tiles, matzo, resin, wood In 2017, Egnater was a mold making intern for the Kohler Arts Industry Program. During her time at Kohler, Egnater assisted artists such as Edra Soto, Samantha Fields, and Mary Anne Kluth while pursuing her own studio practice. Egnater created a series of slip cast tiles exploring visual assimilation; how cultural words and symbols can be hidden in familiarity, sameness, or repetition. The tiles to the left are created from the texture of matzo, while the tiles to the right spell “Deli” and are held by matzo grout. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54274b5de4b0c458e662ecca/d6a2b090-bd3e-412f-85f3-237d96283b37/Website+composite+22.jpg Other program-based works - Make it stand out Edra Soto’s Arts/Industry Interview Stills / 2017 Video by Kohler Arts/Industry Program https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54274b5de4b0c458e662ecca/9845d03e-95b0-478b-9680-985d21aa56b2/Website+composite+29.jpg Other program-based works - Make it stand out Popps Packing / 2019 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54274b5de4b0c458e662ecca/f35df9dd-8ca3-4745-9044-dd6c8b7bb2d6/30+copy.jpg Other program-based works - Make it stand out Monotypes / 2019 / paper, ink In 2019, Egnater was an artist in residence at Popps Packing located on the northern border of Hamtramck and Detroit.

Influenced by James E Young’s The Stages of Memory: Reflections on Memorial Art, Loss, and the Spaces Between, she began investigating what is means to make a memorial with no named victims. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54274b5de4b0c458e662ecca/9104b309-47e7-49d1-ad59-aa53c44b9dd4/Website+composite+23.jpg Other program-based works - Make it stand out Edra Soto’s Arts/Industry Interview Stills / 2017 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54274b5de4b0c458e662ecca/1069e741-d5ce-43fe-bb84-97e76e0d97e3/27.jpg Other program-based works - Make it stand out Monument Series / 2020 / mild steel, red enamel, red dye patina
