is one of many artists that I was newly exposed to at Artfields this Spring. Below is Harvest Avocado whose title (according to Kristy’s statement) comes from the two most popular colors from 1970s decor, Harvest Gold and Avocado. These earthy tones and the revival in craft become popular due to the start of the environmental movement. Today, 50 years later, we find ourselves in the midst of a climate crisis that urgently needs to be addressed. The inkle woven patterned bands criss-cross and grow in an organic way. Humans are interwoven with the planet’s ecosystems, intricately connected to the delicate balance of nature.
By merging tradition with contemporary influences and addressing the pressing climate crisis, her art serves as a reflection of our times, prompting awareness and dialogue about the need for action in a world where the environment is in crisis.
