Rhonda Weppler and Trevor Mahovsky, based in New York and Toronto respectively, have worked collaboratively since 2004. Their work has increasingly incorporated communal aspects of craft, such as DIY tutorial videos, and virtual crafting bees. Their video project Crafts Abyss was hosted by the Museum of Arts & Design (NYC, 2021). Other recent activities include the Odette Sculpture Residency at York University (Toronto, 2022), a major temporary outdoor work for OpenArt (Orebro, Sweden, 2022), as well as solo exhibitions at Susan Hobbs Gallery (Toronto, 2023), The Arts Center at Governors Island (NYC, 2023), Owens Art Gallery (Sackville, 2024), and the Esker Foundation (Calgary, 2024). Their work is represented in public collections including the Musee d’art Contemporain de Montreal, Vancouver Art Gallery, and the National Gallery of Canada.
