Liz Ensz is a weaver, sculptor, and educator based in Brooklyn, NY and Baltimore, MD. Ensz’s interdisciplinary approach is rooted in the textile logics of interconnection and entanglement, pattern recognition, and process-driven exploration. Their works of design, installation, textiles, and sculpture demonstrate a non-hierarchical consideration of materials, tools, and technology and engage the embodied knowledge of skilled handcraft alongside digital design and fabrication, coding, and electronics. The values at the heart of their inquiry inform a curious and critical dialog with technology and resources and a belief that everything around us (including us) is capable of transformation in a world full of abundance. Recent woven works trouble the grid and Cartesian philosophies as the foundation for Western culture (and weaving).
