ABOUT
Lauren Stichweh (she/they) is a multidisciplinary fiber artist who lives and works in Chicago. Her practice embarks on an exploration of identity, connection, and community. The abstract patterns and bold color combinations of her work create a world to explore perception and identity, peering through the lens of childhood memories and queer expression. By intertwining personal experience and emotion with supplemental research, her work weaves a narrative of connecting threads, both metaphorical and metaphysical. Through visualizing these narratives, she seeks to mediate the tension between tangible reality and conceptualized fantasy through data, intimate relationships and the intricacies of emotional connection.
Lauren was born in Atlanta, Georgia and received her BFA from the University of Georgia in 2022. She currently works as a gallery assistant at Heaven Gallery and an instructor at the Chicago Weaving School.
