I make fiber art, works on paper and interactive installations with discarded textiles and found papers. I am a pessimist compelled to create optimistic works dealing with the themes of redemption, connection and care.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">&#8220;Through the use of found textiles I communicate the power of economies of care. Economies of care run on small, simple, and repetitive acts which provide comfort, ease suffering, and connect us with each other. Similarly, I am drawn to the ritual actions inherent in many textile processes &#8211; stacking, sorting, washing, pilling.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">&#8220;My artistic process is iterative, and I work of several bodies of work at once. I dissemble, reconfigure, and react to discarded polyester quilts. I layer topographical maps, weaving drafts, and recorded data discovering the connections between disparate places.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">&#8220;Recently, my socially-engaged works rely on the communal actions of mending together. These shared experiences create unexpected ties and are powerful antidotes to an increasingly divided and alarmist culture. I am interested in a radical hospitality and a generous art practice which redeems the overlooked, cares for the forgotten, and honors the undervalued.&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>About Catherine Reinhart<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">Catherine Reinhart is an artist living and creating in Ames, IA.
