About the Artist

stacey-beach

Stacey Beach (b.1977) is a Californian artist who creates two-dimensional sewn textile works that explore form and composition as well as the material itself in its relation to feminine identity. Inspired by the anonymous histories of female textile artists, the decorative arts and American folk art, Beach’s work explores concepts of beauty and anti-beauty, high and low, form and void, the domestic and the feminine.
