Artist's Statement

Stina Simmarano is a multidisciplinary artist living and working in Somerville since 2010. Currently fixated on fiber art and slow fashion and called to work with discards, scraps and secondhand materials, often combining multiple fiber disciplines in a single piece. A lexicon of familiar imagery and color forms a cohesive thread across the various media she works in from crochet to rugmaking to dance. Forever examining the concepts of waste and consumption in both life and studio practice.
