EVELYN POLITZER
1961 — 2026"...conveying nature's plea for interconnectedness through yarn, thread and fabric."
Knitting Connection with the Earth
"I am a visual artist focused on conveying nature's plea for interconnectedness through yarn, thread, and fabric. Using traditional textile methods like knitting, weaving, and embroidery, I mainly work with soft hand-dyed fibers to create unconventional pieces ranging from small two-dimensional tapestries to monumental sculptural forms."
"My practice has roots in my native land of Uruguay... The relationship between the fibers I work with and the place where I was born evokes the comfort of belonging, no matter where I am in the world."
A deep dive into Evelyn's organic process, Uruguay heritage, and her sculptural installation practice.
