We are so excited to host artist Cristina Wright in conjunction with New York Textile Month as part of our Contemporary @ Heirloom series. Contemporary @ Heirloom spotlights local fiber artists, highlights their process, unique themes, and the ways in which traditional techniques are celebrated and pushed forward.

Cristina Wright (she/they) is an explorative artist and collector originally from South Carolina. Wright holds a BA from North Carolina State University for Art and Design. Wright’s initial textile and fiber studies have been integrated with photography and other pictorial finds. As a self taught photographer, Wright captures the colors of natural world and personal moments with family and strangers. Driven by dyeing, weaving and quilting, Wright builds from personal dreams and reflections from the past. Wright intersects narratives from American history and folklore through photography, textiles and found objects. You can check out their zine here.
