Robin Kang

Texas-born artist Robin Kang creates woven artworks that merge ancestral textile traditions, shamanic healing, and digital innovation.  Using a digitally operated Jacquard loom, she creates textiles that blend botanical motifs with circuit-like patterns, exploring the dualities of past and future, nature and technology, and mysticism and computation.  A 2017 NYFA Fellow, Kang has exhibited internationally at venues including the Queens Museum, Brooklyn Academy of Music, and the U.S. Embassy in Saudi Arabia, with features in The New York Times, ArtNews, and Hyperallergic. She holds an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and has taught fiber arts and digital weaving at RISD, Parsons, and Tyler School of Art.
