Juliet Martin

JULIET MARTIN is an interdisciplinary artist working with handmade textile and digital media. Her work incorporates handspun and hand-dyed fibers woven with illustrations printed on fabric. In 2012 she discovered weaving on a Japanese loom and the Saori school of philosophy that insists “there are no mistakes.” By embracing that free-form process, what might be considered “mistakes” in traditional weaving encourages unique experimentation. She uses the improvisational nature of this kind of weaving to escape restrictions and rules. She challenges the function of the fiber medium. Her process focuses on aesthetics instead of rules. She cuts up and puts back together her weavings, taking something precious and recontextualizing it. By adding drawings to the weavings, a door is opened. Each illustration becomes a legend to the tapestries, refining the message of each piece. Unifying the weaving and the drawing results in a unique combination of emotion and representation.

"Romantic Migraine" by Juliet Martin

dry county: what hydrates more than
water? / whatever it is / will it bring back
feeling in your limbs / will it stay in your
stomach during the august photoshoot you
showed up to woefully hungover?

Nerve Damage by Juliet Martin

Sorry about the crack in the wall of the kitchen,
said the formal women at the closing, signing over
their cared-for Foursquare
