Multi-disciplinary artist Moki Cherry, along with her partner, the legendary jazz musician Don Cherry, would create immersive, joyful happenings with music and art under the banners of Movement Incorporated and Organic Music. With her appliqué textile tapestries as backdrops, Moki could transform any space into a visual reflection of their shared values that championed ecology, spirituality, feminism, and home as both stage and subject. In this workshop, Austin-based artist Krissy Teegerstrom introduces her vibrant, textile works that stem from her own intuition and personal narrative. Krissy will then guide participants through a short exercise to help envision what matters most to you and to translate those values into personal symbols. From there, you'll use these symbols to map out and collage your own paper tapestry, a piece that is meant to live somewhere meaningful in your life, at home or beyond. If you are a practicing textile artist, this can also serve as a draft for future work. For this particular workshop, no sewing, textile, or prior art experience is required.
