Chloe Wack (b. 1995) is an artist and educator based in Knoxville, TN. Her creative research practice spans printmaking, photography, textiles, and time-based processes. Her work explores themes of friendship, memory, and home. Her recent exhibition “we live here.” investigates her own neighborhood in Knoxville and our relationship–or lack thereof–to our neighbors through the physical acts of mapping, tracing, sewing.
She grew up in Silver Spring, MD and later Charleston, SC. Chloe was homeschooled for the majority of her school years. She received her AFA from Montgomery College at the Takoma Park/Silver Spring campus with a concentration in Graphic Design, she then transferred to Towson University where she received her BFA with a focus in Illustration and Printmaking. Post undergrad, she worked in the commercial printing industry as the Head Embroidery Tech & Shop Assistant at Graphix Haus, small independent print shop outside of Baltimore, MD. Chloe recently completed her Master of Fines Arts in Studio Art with a concentration in Printmaking from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville.
Chloe is currently a Lecturer at UTK where she teaches in the Foundations and Time-Based Arts/Cinema Studies concentrations. She has taught in both traditional and digital processes and is excited by the intersections between using analog processes and technology in the creative process.
