Fiber, Beads And Wizardry! with Molly Zimmer

Artist Statement

“I create textile assemblages that respond to the human need to feel more connected to nature, a sensation known as “biophilia.” Using fabric as a material for collage, I create textured portals into a playful, whimsical, and bright garden realm. These soft fabric sculptures aim to immerse the viewer with the sensual comforts and respite of gardens, bringing flora into the home. I hope that my work can display a vibrant love of nature, while creating a sanctuary for myself and others to enjoy.”

Description of Artist Talk

Join Molly Zimmer for a virtual artist talk in her home studio. She will discuss her inspiration from gardens (in particular the activity of pollinators), unique textile processes, show you her materials and industrial sewing machine, highlight a few works from her recent series “Where the Flowers Sing”, plus share tips for running an artist business. Attendees will get a PDF to sew her 3D Fabric Hummingbird.

Molly Zimmer is a multimedia artist. Her fabric sculptures combine painting, textile, and collage with recycled materials. She holds an MFA in Painting from the University of New Mexico, and a BFA in Painting and Curatorial Studies from Maryland Institute College of Art. Her work has been exhibited nationally. She has taught sewing, natural dyeing, drawing, and painting courses through community-engaged workshops at museums, non-profit art centers, K-12 schools and universities. She lives in Arlington, MA with her husband and cat.
