Kimberly English is an artist and educator living in Appalachia. Her practice seeks to explore the nuance of interdependence – real and imagined – between land, machines, people, and the objects they create. Expanding upon her undergraduate textiles education from Savannah College of Art and Design, Kimberly English (b. 1994) earned her MFA from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in Studio Art as a Carolina Digital Humanities Fellow in 2018.
English will discuss the ways in which her recent work explores the connection between the individual and the collective through historical, personal, and perceptual interrogations of textile structure.
