About the Artist & the Work
Kathleen Utts, a fiber artist and Saori weaver, transports us into a realm where cloth becomes art. With a profound respect for the Saori philosophy of self-expression and freedom, Kathleen creates woven artworks that embrace imperfection and celebrate individuality. Through her loom, she weaves colors and textures, and stitches each piece with her signature inclusion of bird symbology. Through intricate manipulation of textiles, she crafts tactile narratives that explore the intersection of artistic expression, beauty, and the human experience. Her artworks are not mere woven garments or tapestries but living reflections of Kathy’s journey, capturing moments of serenity, joy, and contemplation.
This piece entitled, “ON BECOMING” is a departure from Kathy’s usual woven work, expanding her horizon to include storytelling with photos transferred onto silk that peek out through woven windows, and decorative handspun yarn plied using feathers that further her free-spirited imagery
