Nellie Davis and Kelsey Knight Mohr are both textile fabricators and printmakers specializing in silkscreen printing. With decades of combined experience in stitching, tufting, draping, embroidery, pattern making, puppetry and costume design, they have worked with many artists, including Jim Hodges, to realize large-scale textile artworks. We discuss the excitement and tensions created by the textile renaissance in contemporary art, the misconceptions surrounding the term “fiber artist,” the challenges of translating from two dimensions to three and the technical skill required to add movement to fabricating sculptural objects.
