Karyl Sisson Artist Talk

Fiber artist Karyl Sisson finds inspiration in the the beauty and simplicity of ancient, indigenous, and animal architecture, organic growth, and patterns found in nature (as with the coral-like sculpture in the photo above). Using recycled or repurposed materials (like old cloth tape measures, wood clothespins, vintage paper drinking straws and vintage zippers), Sisson explores in her own words “the physical and psychological properties of holes, cavities, insides and outsides.” You can hear more of the artist’s words about her work this week at the Craft in America Center, and see pictures of more of her work here.
