Somebody Lives Here”

Kim Svoboda has fallen in love with fabric, fibers and thread. In her words: “My work explores traditional techniques such as kantha, sashiko, and embroidery in contemporary ways. But, not to be pinned down, I also bring my art background as a printmaker and painter to draw and paint with fabric dyes. I’m as excited about hand-stitching as I am about machine-piecing and thread painting. Last, but not least, I have learned so much about the world, about traditions, about history, about nature, about creativity, just by embracing fabric.”
