Baker Artist Portfolios

Wednesday Childs is an artist and furniture maker living and working in Baltimore, Maryland. In 2021, during a break from undergraduate studies, she apprenticed with a furniture maker in Baltimore called Kaya Furniture Design. In 2023 Wednesday graduated from the Maryland Institute College of Art with a BFA in Interdisciplinary Sculpture. Since then she has been an endowed studio fellow at the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship in Rockport, Maine. Although wood is currently her primary medium she has a history and continues a practice of working in other mediums including painting and weaving. Most recently within woodworking she has experimented with power carving as a means of creating biomorphic forms. Wednesday’s work is heavily influenced by her life as a transgender woman and calls into question the power dynamics that underlie viewer and viewed relationships, examining what it means to look and what it means to be looked at.
