Becky Johnson

Becky Johnson works with textiles and fibers. Her research and artwork are a personal and historical inquiry. Using images based on historic records and myths, her figures have a feeling of appearing and disappearing, much like stories that are passed down. She draws inspiration from reading about the past, studying ancient fibers, and re-imagining humans’ roles from ancient history. By using the traditional craft of weaving and felting, by drawing with thread and imbedding imagery within woven structures, her intimate works build on the physical connection all humans have with cloth.
