Kerr Grabowski
Artist's Statement
Kerr Grabowski's successful integration of her love of color and
mark-making with the challenge of creating wearable pieces has
resulted in a whimsically sophisticated line of one of a kind
fabrics and art to wear. Known for her innovative approaches to dyeing
and screening processes, Kerr is the developer of Deconstructed
Screen Printing, a printing/monoprint technique allowing for a
freer, more painterly approach to screen printing. Kerr is a NJ Council on
the Arts Fellowship recipient, and has been widely published
including Ornament, Fiber Arts, Surface Design Journal, Fiber Arts
Design Book Six and Silk Painting for Fashion and Fine Art. Kerr
exhibits and teaches surface design, color and design workshops
internationally.
"Marks, both narrative and symbolic, have always been my way of
relating to, and interpreting the world. My work is informed by a
fascination with human interactions, my Mississippi background, and
an interest in all cultures where art is an integral part of daily
life-where mark making is a natural activity, a part of the
celebration of being."
