Emily Mondloch

Emily Mondloch is a metalsmith living and working in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She received her BFA in Jewelry and Metalsmithing from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 2013. Mondloch makes fantastical interactive objects and jewelry using both traditional metalsmithing techniques and contemporary industrial processes, leaving the marks of these processes in the final piece. Mondloch is interested in opening a dialogue about her processes with the viewer in order to educate and challenge their knowledge of objects and how they’re made.

                In 2012, Mondloch received the GMF Dorothy & Ruth Smith Fund award. She has received Student Undergraduate Research Funding as an assistant for both Frankie Flood, a metalsmith and professor, and Yevgeniya Kaganovich, the Chair of UW-Milwaukee’s art department and head of their metalsmithing department. Mondloch was the treasurer of Object, UW-Milwaukee’s metalsmithing student organization during the 2012-2013 academic year. Mondloch has exhibited in the Milwaukee area, including at the Villa Terrace Museum of Decorative Arts and at the Milwaukee Art Museum. She recently exhibited at the Zoom Symposium in Bloomington, Indiana.
