Wen Redmond has been a fiber artist since 1976. A former Home Economics teacher, she has worked with batik and weaving which evolved into folk art quilts and a love of the modern art quilt movement.
In the late 90’s, her work centered on abstract expressionism using dyed natural material and surface design, creating gentle tonal contrasts and layers that interact with each other. Her method of direct cutting, without the use of patterns, was innovative at that time. Her work continues to evolve through experimentation.
Since the early 2000s, her work includes photography, printed, or transferred onto fabric, paper or created and mixed media substrates.
She has created several innovative digital fiber techniques. Holographic Images presents multiple layered pieces of photographs printed on silk organza and borders of painted and surface designed fabrics. These pieces create a 3-D effect that moves as the viewer changes positions.
Wen continues to investigate the digital world, but also imaginative presentations that add to the pioneering exploration of her media and give her work edge.
She splits her time from her home studio in New Hampshire and part time in North Carolina.
