Carolyn Halliday

 

American fibre artist Carolyn Halliday is our featured artist this week. When asked why she chose textiles as a medium she replied:

” The inherent sense of texture, the handcrafted nature, and the rich cultural traditions of textiles are deeply appealing to me.  The dismissive concept of “women’s work” serves as a reason to emphasise and elevate the domesticity of textiles and knitting.” 

Carolyn often uses the same colour palette which gives her collected works cohesion yet her variation of scale and subject matter allows her art to constantly evolve and be relevant.
