Robin Mallory – Artist Statement
Robin Mallory’s abstract textile art is driven by simple design and a lifelong interest in the dyeing and stitching of fabric. Mallory earned an art degree from University of Washington continuously expanding her process and the range of materials she worked with. She gathers inspiration from the natural world as well as the juxtaposition between various man made materials and especially the relationship between fabric and dye. Mallory creates pieces that contrast common cotton with hard geometric shapes, bright colors with muted tones. Each piece is hand dyed and stitched and many lit. She continues to explore the relationship between fabric, light and dye in all three dimensions on Vashon Island.
