Kristen Anderson, textile artist

I am a feltmaker working with wool to create wet felted tapestries. I am pulled towards ecological stories—often AMPLIFYING the work of and developing collaborative experiences with scientists. The fibers of the wool mimic many of the subjects I explore in my study—from tiny root hairs to the strong layers of earth or bark. creating art allows me to hold on to teachings, deepen connections, and find a place for processing and healing.
