about in great haste

in great haste is the multidisciplinary art practice of Brídín Clements Cotton, making greeting cards, art prints, paintings, and mixed media work in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

​

Working across paper, canvas, and found materials, Brídín explores the ways we connect with one another and the world around us. Her work plays with color, pattern, texture, and text, often bringing together the natural and unnatural, the serious and the absurd, the beautiful and the unsettling. Flowers and other botanical forms appear alongside fragments of everyday life, creating work that makes room for curiosity, grief, hope, humor, and joy.

​

Originally launched in New York City in 2018 as a handmade greeting card company, in great haste has grown alongside Brídín’s creative practice. During three years in Abu Dhabi, she made mixed media work, led hands-on art workshops, and experimented with interactive installations. In 2025, she returned to her hometown of Kalamazoo, where she continues to explore new materials, ideas, and ways of making.

​

Today, in great haste brings together a little bit of everything: things to mail, hang on your wall, tuck onto a shelf, or give to someone you love. From tiny paper goods to not-so-tiny paintings, each piece is an invitation to look a little closer.
