Update with Kimberly Corday

April 15th, 2017 · 2 Comments

Kimberly Corday has a new body of textile work called Pelage.

“My process is Frankensteinian.  Borrowing aspects of weaving, embroidery, and collage, I make textured objects that conjure up an amalgam of natural phenomena like threadbare pelts, nests, or overgrown brush.

In this new body of work I dye, distress, and manipulate an assortment of textiles in a ritual that yields wall hangings both romantic and primitive. Much like the preserved textiles of a bygone era, this series spotlights organic, sometimes misshapen forms as well as the relationship between beauty and decay.”

Artist Crush: Erin Gilkes

February 24th, 2013 · 1 Comment

Erin Gilkes is a student at Nova Scotia College of Art & Design. She sells her “Table Tapestries” under the name RINN textiles. They are quite lovely and I’m sure are even more so in person.
