Dye Artist Erin Grace Beardemphl

Well loved and abandoned textiles fascinate Erin. When she sees them she wonders, could that be rescued and used again? Or, what could that be transformed into? With the use of dye, stitching, and paint, she aims to renew and transform table linens so that they can be useful again. She also takes old items of clothing or fabric scraps and turn them into sculptures, new objects, and paintings. Erin has heard it said that there is nothing new under the sun. That may be true, but there are new ways to see what we already have, and news ways to make use of them!
