ABOUT
A contemporary fiber artist with a political focus, Adrienne Sloane has deeply explored all forms of sculptural knit structures out of her Lexington, Massachusetts studio. Her work has often addressed timely but universal issues while remaining mindful of the rich historical context of her medium. Sloane has exhibited and taught internationally and worked with indigenous knitters on economic development projects in Bolivia and Peru. Broadening her artistic toolbox, Sloane's current work incorporates fiber in mixed media work.
Sloane’s work has won many awards and has been published in magazines and books including Fiber Art Now, the Surface Design Journal, The Culture of Knitting; Textiles, The Art of Mankind and Knitting Art. Sloane has work in the Philadelphia Museum of Art, The Fuller Craft Museum, the Goldstein Museum of Design, The Kamm Collection and The American Textile History Museum as well as private collections.
ARTIST STATEMENT
I am a mixed media artist with a focus in fiber techniques. Often using iconic imagery, my work is frequently a visceral response to the moral and political landscape of the day. By visually addressing the frayed and unraveled places around me, my work seeks to promote thoughtful dialogue about critical questions as we navigate the difficult times we live in.
