Ford Family Foundation Fellowship.[2]

Career

Guth was educated at

University of Madison, Wisconsin, graduating in sociology. She obtained a Master of Fine Arts degree at New York University.[3]

She first came to international attention for her work at the

New York Times described as "sweet, New Agey expansiveness that is atypical for this year's hermetic, uningratiating show".[5] Her installation, entitled "Ties of Protection and Safe Keeping" asked visitors to record what was most dear to them on scraps of cloth, which were then woven into the sculpture.[6] The work was based loosely on the tale of Rapunzel.[7] It expanded in size three-fold during the event, eventually totalling 500 feet.[8]

During a 20-day residency[9] at the Cosmopolitan P3 Studio, Las Vegas in 2011, Guth created a similar work of braided art (the third and final in her braided series) that stretched for 200 feet covering two rooms.[10]

In 2012 Guth created installations entitled "When Nothing Else Subsists, Smell and Taste Remain" and "Taste and Smell Remain" at

Lake Oswego, Oregon, where she used food as a vehicle for triggering memories and emotions.[6] To accompany the exhibition "When Nothing Else Subsists, Smell and Taste Remain", Marylhurst University published a 150-page text that addresses many of Guth's recent bodies of participatory work including "Red Shoe Delivery Service", "Lenticulars", "Braids", and "Knots and Networks".[11]

Guth has exhibited at the Melbourne International Arts Festival and the Nottdance Festival, England as well as venues across the USA.[3] She is a faculty member at the Pacific Northwest College of Art in Portland.[12]
